An Unimaginative Stamp

Here is, in my opinion, the most unimaginative U.S. stamp. It can be found in the Non-Personalizable Postage section (3CVP prefix) of the Scott Specialized catalog. However, the stamp does present a couple of surprises.

Here are the surprises. In the close-up below, the "E" is missing from "POSTAGE".

In this close-up, not only is the "E" missing, but what's left is doubled.

So, yet the stamp is boring in design, it's not in other areas.
Are there any other boring, yet surprising, stamps out there?

This was originally intended as a label, but by adding "USA", they made it into a stamp.

I don't know if this will qualify or not, but here's a postage meter, with a slogan cancellation "Collect Stamps!":

I love the irony of the postage meter that recommend collecting stamps. Great post.

Another meter disaster, in my opinion ... and from an organization like the Society of Philatelic Americans, you'd think they'd want to use a stamp, as it is presumably a philatelic cover from 1950, but instead they use a postage meter!

In the 50's I would imagine that item wt1 would be sought after as a 'next big thing' in collecting.
