Printed by the rotary process in green, electric-eye perforated.
This stamp was issued to mark the seventy-fifth anniversary of the American Bankers Association.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, printed by the rotary process in green, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50 subjects.
The central design depicts a coin on which is shown some of the fields in which the banks give service. The home symbolizes our daily life, the farm our raw products, the train our transportation, and the skyline our manufacturing. Around the border of these symbols is the wording "American Bankers Association." The lettering "U. S. Postage" in white modified Gothic appears just below the central portion in a dark panel. The dates "1875" and "1950" appear in the upper left and right corners, respectively, in white Roman, each in a dark panel. These panels are joined by ornamental scrolls and each is joined on the side borders in the same manner, with the denomination "3¢" in each lower corner on a shaded circular background.
This stamp was first placed on sale at Saratoga Springs, N.Y., on January 3, 1950.
