Description:

This collectible phone card features a stunning front image of the renowned Buckingham Fountain, one of Chicago's most iconic landmarks. The scene captures the fountain in full operation, with majestic streams of water gracefully arching against a vibrant blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds. The composition is beautifully framed by leafy green branches at the top edges, creating a natural border that enhances the scene's depth and richness. Positioned prominently at the center, the fountain's intricate structure and cascading water lights serve as a dynamic focal point that immediately captures the viewer's attention.

The setting appears to be in a park, likely Grant Park, where the fountain is situated. Surrounding it are well-maintained lawns, with a few pedestrians casually strolling, adding a sense of everyday life and leisure to the scene. In the distance, a gently rolling landscape—possibly the lakefront or park grounds—contributes to the feeling of openness and tranquility. The lighting suggests midday, as sunlight illuminates the fountain and casts distinct shadows, highlighting vibrant colors and fine details with clarity.

In the top left corner of the card, a semi-transparent "ITEX" logo is overlaid, indicating the issuer or sponsor associated with the card. In the top right corner, the "AmeriTel" logo appears alongside a small American flag, establishing the card’s country of origin and telecommunications affiliation. The edges are slightly rounded, typical of phone cards, and the high-resolution imagery combines aesthetic appeal with functional branding, making it an attractive collectible.

On the reverse side, the card provides operational details and usage instructions that underscore its practical purpose. A magnetic strip runs along the top, essential for use in payphones or compatible devices. Beneath the strip, there are terms of use, the available call balance, and possibly a unique serial or code number. The back also features toll-free customer service contact information to assist users. While utilitarian in design, the clear, readable fonts and straightforward layout reinforce the card’s original function as a prepaid calling medium, while also serving as a nostalgic keepsake of telecommunications history.

Since we have the world's largest inventory of USA phonecards for collectors, you will not necessarily receive the identical serial/batch/PIN number that we have scanned/pictured.
