This 1930 picture postcard should have had 2 cents postage. The 1c stamp was noticed by clerks, and assessed double the deficiency, or 2c, indicated by the large 2.

Would that be a mistake by a clerk thinking he had to mark the piece as what should have been affixed originally?

Or is there some other reason for the double due owing? (I don't know)

As far as I know, the double-deficiency rating was standard policy, designed to help defray the cost of collecting underpaid postage.

If the card had gotten through with no postage at all, presumably the marking would have been "4" (2 x 2c).

Anyone else have an example, card or envelope?

Actually, these markings were used a lot in the Edwardian period.

Here are a couple of postcards with similar markings . The top card is a sample of domestic use and the bottom, albeit in bad shape, was used from incoming mail from the UK. I keep it for the marking only. You will also note on this one that there was a British one applied as well with a boxed T/5.

Thes cards again have examples of Canadian and UK applied postage due markings.

This is the last posting of mine for these. I have more but the variations are the same as shown here. I have included a few more modern examples.

The cover with 10 cents due also has a larger CDS marking with a '10' manually applied as well as the rectangular marking.
