Item Description

1886 US Local Post 50 Cents/50 Centavos Central American Steamship Company Mexico to US Newspapers 1 Oz. 2 Cents Letters ½ Oz. 5 Cents Unused No Gum. The **Central American Steamship Company** was established in 1855 by the Panama Railroad Company to enhance trade and communication between the United States and Central America. The company's steamships played a pivotal role in transporting passengers, mail, and goods along the Pacific coast, connecting key ports in the region. This initiative significantly improved the efficiency of travel and commerce during that era. In 1886, the company issued a postage stamp featuring a steamship flanked by palm trees, with bilingual denominations of "One Cent" and "Un Centavo." This stamp not only facilitated mail services but also symbolized the company's commitment to bridging the United States and Central America. The Central American Steamship Company's operations were instrumental in strengthening economic and cultural ties between the regions, contributing to the broader narrative of maritime commerce in the 19th century.
