A Different Look To A Postage Paid Indicia

Believe it or not, here's another one I just received yesterday. The left image is the indicia that was previously posted; the one on the right I received on 07/03/2013. Similar, but slighly larger print and the word "PAID" is not in bold print in the later example:



I know this is getting ridiculous, but I'm intentionally saving these now as it will make an interesting future study about junk mail.

What Chevy dealer in Mass are you getting those from? I work at a GM dealer (Buick, GMC and Caddy) in Mass. Now it's making me wonder what ours look like. But I'm not on our mailing list since I drive a Toyota LOL

Zuzu,
Here's another AAA indicia to add to our collection.



I noticed that the AAA and Capital One indicias do not have a permit number or a city. The one above has Livonia, Mi as a return address on the back of the envelope.

Does anyone know why some indicia have permit numbers and others don't? Is it the size of the mailng or just a design choice? It apparently isn't required.

As long as someone else brought up this old thread, I thought I'd post yet another variety of the Permit #4450 - Phoenix, AZ junk mail covers I received.

As you may recall, back in May 2013 I posted this one:



Compare it to this one I just received the other day (from the same Chevrolet dealer):



The most notable difference is no Chevrolet logo in the UL corner and the number shown in the LL corner is "0414" instead of "0415", presumably designating a different batch of envelopes, even though the "Processing Numbers", etc., are all the same.

I think what the AAA indicia shows is a "company imprint" as defined at this link (see last note at the bottom of page):

Wt1,
Thanks! That's what I was looking for.

Quick post - on my way out the door...

I kinda like this one on mail from Sprint trying to get me to switch my cell phone carrier.

Yet another Chevrolet dealer ad from Permit No. 4450 in Phoenix, AZ, received December 6, 2013, this time a postage paid indicia trying to imitate a postage meter (although I have no idea why):

I have another AAA indicium to share:




And a similar-looking eagle motif from Travelers insurance:

Charter Business, February 2014:

I received this one recently on one of those oversized glossy postcards promoting an accounting/tax service ... although nothing much to look at, it's got to be one of the biggest postage paid blocks I ever encountered at more than 1-3/8" square:

A couple of attorneys in the office received mailings this week from American Bar Insurance through Liberty Mutual with this indicium:
