From the first
U.S. Post Office
pictorial series
, this 1869 3-center was issued the year the transcontinental railroad was completed.  The locomotive on this 150-year-old stamp looks a
lot
like the Central Pacific's
Jupiter
at the
Promontory, Utah
completion ceremony on May 10, 1869.
As a special bonus,
we're adding the perfect companion stamp: the 1944 "Golden Spike Ceremony"
mint, never-hinged
U.S. commemorative.  It celebrates 75 years
, exactly half  the time between 1869 and now,
since the last spike was driven.  There's the
Jupiter
locomotive at Promontory 150 years ago.
Around the time this 1944 stamp was issued, the original transcontinental railroad tracks through Promontory were torn up so the steel could be recycled for World War II armaments.
Both of these stamps are
entirely without flaws
or problems: no thin spots, tears, or other defects (see photos).
...don't miss 'em!
