Printed in blue by the rotary process and issued in sheets of 50.
This stamp was issued to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of the admission of Iowa to the Union.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, printed in blue by the rotary process, and issued in sheets of 50. The central design is an outline map of the State with the State flag superimposed thereon. In vertical panels on the extreme left and right are depicted stalks of corn. Across the top of the stamp in a single line of white Gothic lettering appears the wording "1846—Iowa Statehood Centennial—1946." The words "United States Postage" extend across the bottom of the stamp in the same style lettering with the denomination designation "3¢" in the extreme lower right corner.
The stamp was first placed on sale at the Iowa City, Iowa, post office on August 3, 1946.
