This is a scan of the reverse side of a U.S. stamps from the 1890s.

What ever this partial item is was used as a hinge.

This small part is all I have, I don't know what it is?

Could it be a stamp?

Maybe a label?

Or something else?

OK SOR experts what is it?

1898

The first use of trading stamps in the US dates back to 1891 when a Wisconsin department store gave trading stamps to customers who made cash purchases. The practice was well received and began to spread. Some retailers only allowed their stamps to be redeemed for products uniquely made or distributed by their own company or in their own stores.
