USA T-Type Postage Due Meter Stamp

United States · 1945 · DUE A

A rectangular meter stamp featuring 'U.S. POSTAGE' at the top, 'DUE' in large letters centrally, and the letter 'A' below, indicating a postage due amount.

This meter stamp represents an early form of machine-applied postage due indicia, used by the U.S. Post Office to collect underpaid postage from recipients. It reflects the mechanization of mail services in the mid-20th century.
