United States Postage Due Meter Stamp

United States · 1960 · Indicates postage due (no specific value)

A rectangular meter stamp impression featuring 'U.S. POSTAGE' at the top, 'DUE' prominently in the center, and a 'POSTAGE DUE' slogan at the bottom. A circular postmark-like element is visible on the left side.

This meter stamp indicates that additional postage was owed on a mailpiece, a common practice for underpaid mail. Meter stamps themselves represent a shift towards automated postage payment for businesses and bulk mailers.
