WW2 hobbying

 With the war effort going full strength and the allied forces pushing forward, it had to be with a little pride the U.S. postal service showed a little bit of spirit in this release. The 75th anniversary of the completion of the first transcontinental railroad.
 This was the era when stamp collecting was at it's highest. Philatelists are waning today and I can understand why, what with the advent of UPC codes on letter labels printed upon purchase.
