Stamp of the Day AAA

I actually received this stamp on a letter in the year 2001! The cancellation missed the stamp too, so its "as new." Its beautifully printed in the intaglio process. This process is not used as much anymore.

That is amazing that someone decided to use the stamp after 50 years. It must be worth more than 3 cents now.

I think the picture is a little weird, what are they trying to tell us here? "AAA - Beware of cars"?

LS said...

it is the policeman that is weird I think... stopping the woman from crossing, and his body position like an X. I assume one of the cars are from 1902 and the other from 1952, could that be right?

yes it is a bit odd...yes on the years of the cars. The 1902 looks like a Curved Dash Olds.
