Printed by the rotary process in maroon, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50.
This stamp was issued to commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the American Chemical Society.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally with a double-line border, printed by the rotary process in maroon, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50.
The stamp has for its central design the emblem of the American Chemical Society. On the left is pictured a modern alembic with supporting instruments, the conventional hydrometer and the modern ionization indicator and to the right is the horizon of the chemical century typified by the towers of the catalytic cracking plant, a butadiene reactor, and a fractionating unit. Across the top arranged in one line of white face Gothic appears the wording "American Chemical Society" and just below arranged in two lines on each side of the emblem in white face Gothic is the inscription "1876–1951". In a dark panel across the bottom of the stamp is the inscription "3¢ U. S. Postage 3¢" in white face Roman.
The stamp was first placed on sale at New York, N.Y., on September 4, 1951.
