Postage Meters Observation

[kacyds]

Received these three today in the mail.  All three of them had checks in them, so the weight should be the same.





The first two have some kind of bird on them, maybe an eagle...

All different postage amounts. The correct amount is 48 cents for postage meters. You save one cent, by using a meter over a stamp. Not sure why someone would pay 90 cents to mail a letter....

The bottom two has the date and zip code as part of the meter.

The top one is cancelled. Not sure why???

Two of them have a scan image.

They all say US Postage.


Does anyone collect these???

[Admin Bear]

i do not collect them but i have also noted a number of variations beyond the ones you noted..

these would be interesting to read more about, but i doubt i would actively collect them.

[kacyds]

I don't collect them either. But if someone does I will start saving them.

I don't collect these, but this one was used to send 10 sheets of letter sized paper at 69 cents...

I do however, collect these when I run across them...



By chance does anyone else?

[Admin Bear]

i dont (for various reasons) but from time to time a lady in my office will have some mixed in with a bag of covers she gives me each month..

if i happen to locate any i would be happy to put them aside for you...

once you reach the 50 post marker we can talk about how i am going to get them to you

That would be much appreciated Bear - Thank you for the offer.
