USA Postage Due Meter Slogans D1 and D2

United States · 1955 · Variable

This entry refers to catalog images of United States meter stamps featuring the 'POSTAGE DUE' slogans D1 and D2. These slogans were imprinted by postal metering machines to indicate that a mailpiece was underpaid and additional postage was required from the recipient.

These slogans were part of the U.S. Post Office Department's system for handling short-paid mail, providing a clear visual cue to postal workers and recipients that a balance was owed. They represent a functional aspect of postal operations in the mid-20th century.
