These stamps were identical in design with those originally issued in sheet form and sold through post offices. The uncut sheets were sold intact as taken from the press showing plate numbers, guidelines, etc. The special blocks of four stamps were trimmed to uniform size, which eliminated plate numbers.
These special uncut sheets and blocks of stamps were first made available at the Philatelic Agency, Post Office Department, Washington, D.C., on March 15, 1935, and were continued on sale until June 15, 1935. For the accommodation of collectors desiring first-day covers, the blocks of four of these stamps were also placed on sale at the post office at Washington, D.c., on March 15, 1935. They were not issued to other post offices.
