Pony Express Centennial 63 Year Old Mint Vintage Stamp Block from 1960

Description: A beautiful collectible 4 stamp block set of U.S. postage stamps issued in 1960 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the pony express. The pony express used a team of 400 men and horses to deliver mail from Missouri to California in less than half the time it took other methods of delivery. It operated for a year and a half before the advent of the transcontinental telegraph. Riders typically rode 80 - 100 miles, changing horses about every 10 miles at stations along the route. These stamps have never been used and are as fresh as the day they were sold at the Post Office more than 60 years ago! Suitable for framing. they would make a great gift for anyone interested in the history of the mail service. Look in my other auctions for blocks of stamps of other historical significance including a block of stamps issued in 1940 commemorating the pony express! All stamps are Mint Never Hinged. Shipping is $1.00 for first class mail.
