Old Lighthouse Scout Local Post

Harry Squatrito, who lives near Newark, Delaware, has a summer residence at Cape Windsor near Fenwick Island. Squatrito admires the Fenwick Island Lighthouse. When he discovered that his favorite lighthouse was celebrating its 100th birthday (June 1969), he decided to start a post office (local post) and issue a stamp to commemorate the lighthouse's birthday.

Squatrito issued three commemorative Scout stamps among over 30 issues, each with a 10 cent value. They were sold in blocks of four.
