Located in Wichita Kansas, Postal Presort Inc issued a booklet of stamps
for individuals to use in the mail service. Shown below is the front
and back of a typical booklet.
When opened, the booklet pane of five stamps and an instructional label
is attached to the left side of the cover.
When folded back, the booklet pane reverse is shown, as is the complete
inside of the booklet cover. The stamps have a shiny gum.
Below is a closer look at the booklet pane at 300 dpi showing more detail
as well as the plate number A11.
Of note is the lower line of the black outline around the flying bird
image. Shown at 400% and 300 dpi, there is microprinting of ppippippi
with a letter s near the center of the microprinting. (Whoever said
microprinting is a USPS security innovation :)
Most of the usages I have seen are on envelopes to addressed to Wichita...
but here is one to a Michigan sweepstakes.
I have no information as to the cost to the user of the Postal Presort
service nor do I know if the service was simply a private delivery service,
a mail consolidator or some other combination of services. I would
appreciate any information you might be able to share.
