Stamp #5


The fifth stamp in this collection is one of four stamps in the New Zealand "Offshore Islands" series of 1974. Printed in New Zealand and identified by Scott Catalog #563-566, the stamps depicted four different island landscapes off the coast of New Zealand.

The stamp used, #566, depicts the "The Brothers" islands. Pictorially it represents the Island itself, but the aerial view has an uncanny similarity to a camera angle of the Island in Season 4, just before the Island is moved by Ben Linus. "The Brothers" represents the main conflict of the series, between brothers Jacob and the Man in Black.

Face value: 23¢.
