For ~20 months, weekly mail from a vendor arrived bearing this postage.

The 071V00892594 is the same on every piece. Account number? Device number?

The 11230 is almost certainly the zip code from which the piece was mailed.

The 'Stude tells me that the bar code equals those two strings, eg, 071V0089259411230.

The 000021032 is a sequence number. My covers range from 000006462 postmarked 20141107 to 000039296 postmarked 20160702, or about 400 pieces each week.

Q/ Is this computer-vended postage? (eg, from a machine at the branch)

Q/ Is this output from a postage meter? (eg, from a machine on the company premises)

Q/ Is this created by software from, say, stamps.com? (and, presumably, printed via laser printer)

Q/ Is this something else?

Q/ Will they survive removal via Pure Citrus?

I appreciate your help, y'all, and offer free samples in return for material assistance.

Cheers,

/s/ ikeyPikey

I got one of those today on an envelope containing some Portuguese colonial postal cards from an ebay seller in Vancouver, Washington.

The three lines on mine are:
071V01275134
98687
000034776

That second line is definitely the zip code, since it matches the zip in the return address.

Well, THAT sure qualifies as a definite answer!

Q/ How many would you like?

https://www.pnc3.com/cvp/netstamps0001-0069.htm ... The near-examples I find on the web are all branded (URL, etc) ...

... is the design original to Endicia?

Cheers,

I was off by one - 1CVP44, although I note yours has a gap between the 3rd and 4th lines instead of the 5th and 6th

Update on Pure Citrus: Worked just fine: shpritz, scrape, re-shpritz, re-scrape, clean!

Update on Endicia: You will notice that their branding is MIA on my CVP in the OP.

I asked them whether/not their CVP was available without branding, and the answer was:

I understand your concerns.

Unfortunately, this is not something that can not be removed.


On my ToDo list (Where Tasks Go To Die): is this their account, do they know anyone selling lookalike paper, etc.

The citrus you use, what is it? I know citrus to mean Lemons, Limes, Oranges, Grapefruit etc. I presume your not just soaking them in acidic sugary fruit juice.

"Pure Citrus" is a brand of air freshener, used here in an aerosol/spray can.
