This stamp was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Nebraska Territory.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally with a single outline frame, printed by the rotary process in purple, electric-eye perforated and issued in sheets of 50.
The central design of the stamp is a reproduction of "The Sower," which surmounts the dome of the capitol at Lincoln, Nebraska. In the background is a view of the impressive Mitchell Pass with Scotts Bluff dominating the right side of the scene. The numerals "1854" and "1954" in dark Gothic are placed in the upper left and right corners, respectively. In the lower right corner appears the denomination "3¢" and "U.S. Postage" in two lines and placed across the bottom is the wording "Nebraska Territorial Centennial" all in white-face Gothic.
The stamp was first placed on sale at Nebraska City, Nebr., on May 7, 1954.
