Issued by the United States Postal Service in 1981, this definitive “Bulk Rate USA” stamp features a bold stylized eagle with spread wings, clutching a shield in red, white, and blue — symbolic of American strength and unity. Designed for presorted bulk mail, it carries no printed denomination but was used for discounted bulk-rate postal service. The design reflects the patriotic theme prominent in early 1980s U.S. postal issues. It was printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and often found in coil rolls for commercial use.
