The stamps are one in a 3-year series featuring Veteran tractors in Åland. Starting in 2021, the stamp series will be completed in 2023. The series consists of a total of 6 stamps.

This stamp shows a 1955 Ferguson TES20. 

The tractor came to Åland in 1956 in connection with an Åland exhibition, finding a new home on a farm in Svinö, Lumparland. Today, the tractor is kept on the premises of the veteran tractor club at the Åland rural centre in Jomala. It is used with a crate attached to drive around with children who participate in the 4-H activities.
