Great American Steam Locomotives: Articulateds DVD
Articulateds capture the heart and minds of anyone who comes out to see them.
Doesn’t the USPS know who the “two railroad companies” were? Or are they not allowed to name businesses?
Has anyone looked at the center stamp? Where’s the spike’s HEAD? I don’t see how, even by 1860’s standards, a headless spike could hold a rail inplace. Otherwise, buy ’em, peel e’m and use ’em on your mail.
Line through Foreever is so someone can’t print them off and try to create counterfeit stamps.
I remember watching a John Allen video of his G&D model railroad. He actually made some 2 or three cent postage stamps with a G&D locomotive on it–at least until the Post Office caught him! Yes, the G&D stamp and an actually stamp were cancelled.
Pleased to provide a laffer….years ago the P.O. produced a series of stamps, with original artwork, commemorating early streamliners: GG1 Congressional, Super Chief, Daylight, 20th. Century, Hiawatha. Along with stamps, one could purchase 8×12 prints. The Otto Kuhler F-7 Hiawatha was captioned “Chicago to Minneapolis & the Twin Cities.”
There should also be one for the 844-4014 re-enactment, which will be the result of no small feat in itself.
George Pins, the USPS does that so someone doesn’t try to use them as real stamps.
Does anyone know why a line is drawn through the word “forever” on each of the stamps?
