Printed by the rotary process, in brown, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50 subjects.
This special stamp was issued to commemorate the one-hundredth anniversary of the organization of territorial government in Oregon.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, printed by the rotary process, in brown, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50 subjects. The central design depicts a wagon on the Oregon Trail with the dark Roman lettering "Oregon Territory Centennial" within a circle on which appears the white Gothic dates "1848–1948." Arranged in the upper left and right corners, respectively, are ovals bearing the portraits of John McLoughlin and Jason Lee. Below each portrait is the denomination "3¢" in white modified Roman. In the upper center is the wording "U. S. Postage" in dark Roman.
This stamp was first offered for sale at the Oregon City, Oreg., post office, on August 14, 1948.
