USA T-Type Postage Due Meter Slogans
United States · 1940 · Postage Due
This image displays five variations of a United States T-Type Postage Due meter slogan, featuring 'POSTAGE DUE' and 'PAID' alongside dates from 1940-1941. These meter marks were used to indicate mail on which additional postage was owed.
These meter stamps represent a specific period in US postal history (early 1940s) when mechanical postage meters were used not only for pre-payment but also for marking mail where additional postage was due. They illustrate the evolution of postal accounting and mail handling practices.
