ON APRIL 6, 1976, THE USPS ISSUED A STAMP COMMEMORATING A CENTURY OF MODERN CHEMISTRY. THE ISSUE DATE IS EXACTLY 100 YEARS FROM THE FOUNDING OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY. THE NEW STAMP WAS ISSUED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE 100TH ANNUAL CONVENTION AND CENTENNIAL BANQUET OF THE SOCIETY HELD IN NEW YORK CITY APRIL 6, 1976.
SHOWN HERE IS THE FIRST DAY COVER OF THE STAMP (AN ENVELOPE WITH THE STAMP CANCELLED ON THE FIRST DAY OF ISSUE FROM THE CITY OF ISSUE - WHICH, AS MENTIONED, IS NEW YORK CITY.)
