History
Trinidad and Tobago issued three commemoratives on 15 November 1964 for the fiftieth anniversary of the Girl Guides Association (some accounts give 15 September at Port of Spain). The stamps were withdrawn from sale on 14 December 1964.
All three values share one design: Queen Elizabeth II in an oval at upper left, a Girl Guides trefoil between the dates 1914 and 1964 under banners reading GIRL GUIDES and GOLDEN JUBILEE, and the Trinidad and Tobago arms in a diamond on the right. The 6 cents is on a salmon-pink ground, the 25 cents on blue, and the 35 cents on green.
Harrison & Sons designed and printed the set by photogravure in panes of fifty on paper watermarked St. Edward's Crown and CA multiple, perforated 14½ × 14.
