Hey :)

I looked everywhere online to help ID these cut squares of Postage Paid with Permit No. (multiple colors)

Can anyone provide me some info. about them?

In the second photo the bottom cut square seems interesting. It's from 1911 and printed "Wilmington Del." with a price of "1D"? Not sure what that is about...


thanks!

You have a group of permit imprints typically found on 3rd class mail. They are not cataloged as far as I know, and worth very little.
The Wilmington item is a machine cancel from machine 1 (and service letter "D", not a postage amount), the stamp is absent off the right end.

Permits are generally collected with the whole envelope to see what person or company was using the permit.

Three of them are US Postage Meter cutouts but they have cut out the indicia rather crudely. These are the ovals with the wavy lines on the sides at the bottom of the page. The bottom one from Wilmington is not a permit or a meter but a cutout from a machine cancel and does not denote a particular value. The 1 and D are service markings integral to this type of machine cancel from International.
