What about Captain Union Pacific?
NittanyLionHis shield was originally a red, white, and blue heater.
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!

Living the dream.
All I know is: When Captain America throws his mighty shield, all those who chose to oppose his shield must yield.

SeeYou190 NittanyLion Those US Property Captain America shields are still the sign they use too. I think you need to spend more time in the MCU, that is not what Captain Steve Rogers' shield looks like. Nerd out! -Kevin

The Federal Property and Interstate Highway signs are often called Captain American signs. His shield was originally a red, white, and blue heater.
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.)

Microscale has decals with a small choice of U.S. Mail lettering and two sizes of emblems:
Assorted Trailers
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
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)
ndbprr Lots of the current logo on the internet. Haven't found a 1950s logo for my postal building. Anybody have a source? Thank you

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"
I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.
I don't have a leg to stand on.

Here's a couple other graphics I like to use on government properties:
