New exhibit on Stamp Smarter - "The Ways U.S. Postage Due Stamps Were Used, 1879 -1986" by Tony Wawrukiewicz

This exhibit shows the many ways U.S. postage due stamps were used from July 1, 1879 until Oct. 2, 1986, that is, only during the period when adhesive due stamps allowed. Also shown is when the postage due stamps were placed, and whether their use indicated actual due collection.

Big thanks to Tony for sharing this exhibit and for his other contributions to our hobby. If anyone has an exhibit you would like to share please let me know and we will make it happen.

The PO typically bundled mail to the same addressee and placed the total amount of postage due for that address on the top piece of mail.
