This special stamp was issued to promote highway safety and accident prevention, on the fiftieth anniversary of the American Automobile Association.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, printed by the rotary process in blue, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50.
The design of the stamp illustrates a school safety patrol member preventing two young school girls from effecting a dangerous crossing. To the right of this is shown an automobile of the period of 1902, and an automobile of the more familiar and modern design of 1952. The wording "American Automobile Association 50th Anniversary 1902 1952" in dark Gothic, is arranged in four lines at the top of the stamp. A two-tone panel forms the bottom of the stamp and frames the wording "U. S. Postage 3¢", in white face Roman. In the upper right-hand corner is shown the emblem of the AAA's.
This stamp was first placed on sale in Chicago, Ill., on March 4, 1952.
