Here is a rather interesting item (to me). It is a business reply envelope with a $1.00 postage due stamp affixed! I guess there was a spike in postage that day! Ha!
It was probably attached to a returned parcel, and not paid for. Any other theories?
chasa is correct. This was how business reply mail was handled. The incoming envelopes were grouped together and a single larger-denomination stamp would pay for them.
It is possible the rate was 1 cent printed matter rate, in which case you have 1 out of 100.
