This special postage stamp in the 3-cent denomination was issued to commemorate the California Pacific International Exposition, which opened at San Diego, Calif., May 29, 1935.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, and is inclosed within a double-line border. The central subject of the stamp is a view of the exposition grounds, with Point Loma and San Diego Bay in the distance. In dark Gothic lettering, arranged in two horizontal lines at the top of the stamp, is the inscription "California Pacific International Exposition" above, and "1535—San Diego—1935" below. Within circular panels with dark background, in each lower corner, is the denomination designation "3¢", in white. In a narrow panel with dark background, at the base of the stamp, with white edges and ornamental device at each end are the words "U. S. postage" in white Roman lettering. The stamp is printed in purple ink.
The new stamp was first offered for sale at the post office in San Diego, Calif., on May 29, 1935.
