Issued in sheets of 70 stamps printed by the rotary process with electric-eye perforations.
This special stamp was issued in honor of Harlan Fiske Stone, late Chief Justice of the United States.
The stamp is 0.85 by 0.98 inch in dimension, arranged vertically, printed by the rotary process, in purple, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 70 subjects. The central design is a portrait of Harlan Fiske Stone on a dark background, under which appears two conventional shields. In the right shield on a dark background appears the denomination "3¢" in white modified Roman, and in the left shield on a dark background appears the scales of justice. Under the portrait in a simple ribbon appears the name "Harlan F. Stone" in dark-face Gothic. The wording "United States Postage," in white-face Gothic, appears in the top border.
The stamp was first placed on sale at Chesterfield, N.H., on August 25, 1948.
