Description
A very appealing 1950 First Day Cover for the Railroad Engineers of America 3¢ commemorative, canceled Jackson, Tennessee, April 29, 1950, and addressed to Hon. James M. Mead, Federal Trade Commission, Washington, D.C. This is the kind of cover that rises above the ordinary because it combines a classic railroad-themed first day issue with a historically important addressee and the added interest of Albert Goldman, Postmaster, New York, N.Y. on the front.
* Desirable Railroad Engineers of America first day cover with strong train and transportation appeal
* Addressed to Hon. James M. Mead, former U.S. Senator and later a member of the Federal Trade Commission
* Blue Albert Goldman signature on the front adds a strong postal-history crossover element
* Attractive cachet design with excellent visual appeal for display
* Blank reverse
* A much more interesting example than a standard FDC because of the political, postal, and railroad history combination
* Nice piece for collectors of railroad, postal history, first day covers, autographs, and Washington, D.C. material
* Condition notes: light general age toning, minor corner and edge wear, and normal signs of handling/storage; overall a very attractive cover with strong eye appeal
This particular cover stands out because it combines a classic railroad first day issue with a historically important addressee and the added appeal of Albert Goldman, Postmaster of New York, N.Y. The James M. Mead address gives it real historical weight, and the overall presentation makes it a far more compelling example for collectors of railroad, postal history, and political memorabilia.
