Printed by the rotary process; in purple, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 70 subjects.
This special stamp was issued in honor of Will Rogers, noted American humorist.
The stamp is 0.85 by 0.98 inch in dimension, arranged vertically with a single-line border, printed by the rotary process; in purple, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 70 subjects. The central design is a portrait of Will Rogers, below which is the wording "I never met a man I didn't like"—Will Rogers, in dark Gothic. Above the portrait is the denomination "3 cents," in white Gothic. The central design is framed on the left and right by narrow draperies. The shaded Gothic lettering "United States Postage" on a dark background panel completes the lower border.
The stamp was first placed on sale at Claremore, Okla., on November 4, 1948.
