I am not exactly sure how to categorize this card, it appears to never have been sent through a mail stream but perhaps sent to another clerk in a pouch?

I just thought it an unusual piece of Ogden UT postal history and wanted to share and see if anyone else has any theories/opinions on it.

The lighter streaks in the paper coming up from the bottom corners would suggest this was used as an envelope stuffer.

Add: the rubber stamp at the upper right identifies the user as a member of the U.S.C.S. (Universal Ship Cancellation Society). All of the rubber stamps would be privately owned by him for use on his prepared philatelic covers and not technically USPOD in origin.
