This special postage stamp in the 3-cent denomination was issued to commemorate the completion of Boulder Dam.
The stamp is of the special-delivery size, 0.84 by 1.44 inches, arranged vertically, and is inclosed within a double-line border. It is printed in purple ink. The central subject of the stamp is a view of Boulder Dam, showing the river gorge both above and below the construction work. Across the bottom of the stamp is a white panel with the denomination designation "3¢" printed at each end. Along the base of this panel are the words "U. S. postage", in dark architectural Roman lettering. Above this inscription, within a narrow panel with white edges and dark background, is the wording "Boulder Dam—1935", in white Gothic lettering.
The new stamp was first offered for sale at the post office in Boulder City, Nev., on September 30, 1935.
