Description: A pristine horizontal pair of five-cent United States postage stamps commemorating the historic waterway link between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. The graphic design highlights the stylized stern of an early canal boat painted in bold crimson, off-white, and dark charcoal grey, resting on dark blue water. The words "Erie Canal" are written across the hull in open-face red lettering, explicitly flanked by the historical timeline dates of "1817" and "1967" directly underneath. The background features a pale greenish-blue lock structure complete with a black ladder, while the top right corner houses the dark blue text "U.S. Postage 5¢".
Circa: 1967
Condition: Mint pair
