Trucks

Any truck stamps out there on the philatelic highway?

There is a USPS philatelic truck souvineer sheet from around the 1930's. It was an exhibit that drove around the country showing people how stamps were made and each visitor could get a gummed or ungummed sheet. I can't recall which one is worth more,I believe the gummed one, but it is a noticable difference. I have the lesser valued sheet.

Of course there is always the trucks in the US transportation coil series, which I really like.

Sounds great

Here is some info from the Alphabetilately sight about the Philatelic Truck:
The Philatelic Truck


The Philatelic Truck was an engaging eccentricity of the USPOD right before WW II. As with most stamp-related activities during his tenure in office, FDR probably had a hand in its creation. The truck was a custom-built, heavily armored vehicle with an exhibit of all U.S. postage stamps issued to that date on display in specially- mounted stands inside. It toured the country for 2-1/2 years, from May 9, 1939 to December 13, 1941, stopping at schools, libraries, etc. Visitors were given one of these special souvenir sheets, printed by the BEP, and now considered forerunners of the Bureau Souvenir Cards created since (Size of these souvenir sheets is about 4-1/4 wide). James Bruns, who is the former Director of the National Postal Museum in Washington, DC, published a wonderful book about the Philatelic Truck.

Nice trucks Bandicoot!! I specially love the Overland Train. I saw my first triple trailer the other day on my way to Oklahoma City, and was totally amazed by it. Thanks for showing these trucks.

Yea the road trains are powerful and go whereever they want to go.

I will have to start looking for some of those Road Trains and some of those awesome planes you have been showing.
