A Florida Centennial postage stamp, along with identifying labels. The image of the Great Seal of the State of Florida is surrounded by the Old City Gates in St. Augustine on the left and the State Capitol Building on the right. The two images have the years of the centennial above them: 1845 was when Florida was admitted as a state, and 1945 was the centennial anniversary. The stamp cost three cents at the time.
A postcard depicting the state of Florida, particular the Florida State Capitol in Tallahassee, Florida. Tallahassee was designated the capital of Florida in 1824 and the Old Capitol building was constructed in 1826. The building was never completed and was instead torn down in 1839. The present capitol building was completed in 1845 and expanded in 1902, 1923, 1936, and 1947.
