The red-orange stamp features a Spanish-style mission representing the fort’s 19th-century origins, alongside a stylized rocket—making it the first U.S. stamp to depict a space vehicle. The design reflects Fort Bliss’s evolution from the largest cavalry post in the country to a post-WWII hub for guided missile and anti-aircraft defense.\u003cbr\u003eFeatures:\u003cbr\u003e• \tIssue Year: 1948\u003cbr\u003e• \tDenomination: 3 cents\u003cbr\u003e• \tColor: Red-orange\u003cbr\u003e• \tScott Catalog #: 976\u003cbr\u003e• \tSubject: Fort Bliss Centennial\u003cbr\u003e• \tDesign: Mission-style building and rocket imagery\u003cbr\u003e• \tLocation: El Paso, Texas\u003cbr\u003e• \tCancel Type: Black horizontal bars (varies by piece)\u003cbr\u003e• \tMounting: Lightly mounted with stamp hinge tape, removable without damage.
