Nice one DonSellos, watermark says 1938! and woodcut or lino-cut print has good atmosphere. There are arrow shaped airmail stickers featured by John Becker on page 2, but nice to see different format, printed on envelope. Airmail was symbol of speed in that time - and often arrowy something is used to express that. I think the right hand end triangle is an arrow head on the first stamp, and the finger is the equivalent of arrow on the second one - I think.. Would you agree? Mexico 1955 / Airmail, Panamanian Sports Games 1956 / Airmail, Centenary of Stamp   |

Arrows and communication - well, the second one is not really an arrow, but the satellite (or rocket?) forms a shape of arrow. Cuba 1966 / 1st National Forum of Communications   |

Even on roads, we normally don't see many of arrows as on these stamps... It looks like a historical moment for the country and it was wise that they didn't introduce the change a day earlier. Nigeria 1972 / Drives Right from 2 April   |

This is not exactly a road sign - but related to road. It actually looks like "attention!" to the denomination 50pf.. Germany 14 February 1979 / Rescue Service on the Road / design: D. Urban  |
