United States · 1894 · 10 cents

A block of four 10-cent United States postage due stamps from 1894, featuring a simple design with large numerals indicating the face value. These stamps were affixed to mail to collect unpaid or insufficient postage from the recipient.

Postage due stamps were crucial for the postal service to recover costs for mail that arrived with insufficient postage. The 1894 series, part of a broader effort to standardize postal operations, ensured that the sender or recipient paid the full amount.
