  Postage due - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Postage due is the term used for mail sent with insufficient postage.
Postage due stamps (or "labels", to clarify that they have no value of their own) are not always affixed to individual letters; in the case of business mail, the total due might be summed, and the appropriate stamps added to the top letter in a bundle, or to a bundle's wrapper.
While technically there is no reason for postage dues to reach private hands unused, postal administrations have always been willing to sell them to collectors, and the postage dues of many countries exist in vast numbers, almost all unused and of negligible value.

 United States Postage stamps. History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The dimensions of the postage due stamps were lessened when the Treasury Department assumed the manufacture of stamps in 1894, and the color was deepened to a deep claret, with smaller white numerals than had been used up to that time.
The two elliptical lines enclosing the numerals, and between which the words "Postage due", the letters "U.S.", and the denomination were written in words, entirely disappeared on the lower half of the new stamp.
The new stamp is the same shape, size and design as the series of postage due stamps, issue of 1894, except that the white numeral "1/2" appears in the center of the stamp and the words "Half cent" appear in the panel at the bottom.

The ordinary stamp should be sufficiently elastic for every postage pur­pose (except payment of postage due) so that it can be used for prepayment of postage on all classes of mail, special delivery service, and re/!:istry, insurance, and C.O.D. fees.
