Commemorative Ornament
25th
Anniversary of the Mission of the Bureau THA's 1997 ornament recognizes one of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms's (ATF's) earliest missions: collecting revenue and enforcing laws on whiskey tax, in the face of dissent by Pennsylvania farmers engaged in what was to be called the "Whiskey Rebellion." Included in the design theme is the ATF 25th Anniversary logo, with is its seal modified to reflect this special anniversary year. The ornament measures approximately 2-3/4 by 3 inches. ATF is the successor Treasury organization to the group that collected tax on whiskey produced by the farmer in the 1790s. When the Bureau of Internal Revenue was created in 1862, its ATF Division assumed these responsibilities. In 1972, ATF became a separate Treasury bureau.
