Lots of the current logo on the internet. Haven’t found a 1950s logo for my postal building. Anybody have a source? Thank you
Here’s a couple other graphics I like to use on government properties:

And this one is located near a stand-pipe or alarm bell for the fire sprinkler:

And this one which used to be ubiquitous on so many public buildings throuth the '50s and '60s.

You can download any of these from Flickr.
Good Luck, Ed
Those US Property Captain America shields are still the sign they use too.
I think you are looking for something that doesn’t exist.
It appears that prior to the creation of the Postal Service (1971) the US post offices and vehicles did not have logos on them. They were simply lettered “US POST OFFICE”, UNITED STATES POST OFFICE" , or just “POST OFFICE”
The vehicles just had U.S. MAIL in gold block letters on the white over blue trucks, and a Civil Defense “CD” triangle (they could be used in emergency situations)
Microscale has decals with a small choice of U.S. Mail lettering and two sizes of emblems:
And the Flexi-Van set has the gold block lettering:
I used block lettering on my U. S. Mail Parcel Post Annex
This is just like the lettering that was on the Cleveland Lakefront “Annex” that was served by the NYC and Penn-Central mail trains.
Good Luck, Ed
I think you need to spend more time in the MCU, that is not what Captain Steve Rogers’ shield looks like.
Nerd out! [8-|]

The United States Post Office used the round “pony express” sleeve patch on uniforms until they were reformed as the United States Postal Service in 1970 when the eagle logo was created. As far as I know, the “pony express” logo was not used on vehicles or mailboxes or the outside of post offices. Post offices had the station name on it, and always had a US flag.
(My dad was a mailman 1943-74 and many of my mom’s family worked for the post office also.)
The Federal Property and Interstate Highway signs are often called Captain American signs. His shield was originally a red, white, and blue heater.
All I know is: When Captain America throws his mighty shield, all those who chose to oppose his shield must yield.
Yes, the old sheild is more similar to the highway signs.
A lot of my neighbors like to point out that Captain America’s shield was originally designed for Captain Puerto Rico!

What about Captain Union Pacific?
