Wow Gussy that horse is interesting. I can't enlarge it and my eyes are getting old so I'll ask you. Has that horse got a fourth leg?  Any way its a nice stamp. |

If a horse is running with 2 fronts legs up the the 2 back legs should be down or in a somewhat similar position. What I see is part of the train wheel drive under the horse. Could you please have a close look for us Gussy? |

Great investigating about my four legged horse! I never knew they had something like that coach or caboose that was horse drawn! That horse is running on train like tracks--how do you stop when a horse is going that fast??? Gussyboy1  |

yea it looks like there are three tracks - each track has a progression in rail technology. the first is the horse pulling a cart (they used them on the early short line tracks), the next is a early steam engine, the last is a modern electic diesel.
i don't understand horses and I guess the engraver didn't either. |

Trains on movie prop stamps...  (These stamps were used on a film called "a letter from Evie") First movie prop stamps used on regular mail 1946  (parcel post stamps could be used as normal postage from 1913 onwards)   I wonder if it was addressed to Raymond Burr's wife |
