Printed on the Giori presses, and issued in panes of 50.
This special stamp was issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Camp Fire Girls movement, which was launched in 1910 by Dr. and Mrs. Luther Halsey Gulick.
The 4-cent Camp Fire Girls stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged vertically, printed on the Giori presses, and issued in panes of 50.
The design is highlighted by the insignia of the organization—crossed logs with flame within a designed triangle. The flame is red, and the logs and insignia frame are in blue. On the outer sides of the insignia, in a lighter shade of blue, is a rippled effect. The years "1910" and "1960" in the upper corners, and "United States Postage," at the bottom, are in blue. The denomination "4¢" is red.
The stamp was first placed on sale at New York, New York, on November 1, 1960, on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee Convention of the Camp Fire Girls.
