This United States commemorative stamp was issued in 1954 to mark the centennial of the Kansas Territory (1854–1954). The design, printed in a rich red shade, depicts a covered wagon train drawn by oxen, symbolizing the westward expansion and pioneering spirit that shaped the territory. At the bottom, “KANSAS TERRITORIAL CENTENNIAL” is inscribed, with “1854–1954” marking the anniversary. The denomination is 3 cents, the standard U.S. letter rate at the time. This example shows a clear cancellation celebrating Columbia University’s 200th Anniversary (1754–1954), making it an interesting collectible piece with a double commemorative connection.
