This postage stamp was issued by America in 1913 for "parcel post", which refers to mailing relatively heavy packages. This is the 75 cent value (Scott Catalogue # Q11) in a set of twelve parcel post stamps. By the following year, parcel post-only stamps were not required on packages - any postage stamps could be used.
The stamp depicts farm equipment harvesting crops.
The black bars and "Philadelphia Pa." is a precancel.
