The contract with the U.S. Post Office, which went into effect on September 16, 1858, identified the route and divided it into eastern and western divisions. Franklin, Texas later to be named El Paso was the dividing point and these two were subdivided into minor divisions, five in the East and four in the West. These minor divisions were numbered west to east from San Francisco, each under the direction of a superintendent. This stamp block celebrates the 100yr anniversary of the Overland Mail Route. This print block is in "NEW" condition and the glue is fully intact. It has been kept in a protective sleeve since it was bought in 1958, and will be sent in the protective sleeve
