Force, PA was a 4th class office at that time without any carrier delivery. The rate for such local letters at offices without carrier service was 1 cent. The mutilated stamps masquerading as bisects have no postal effect as the cover is fully paid at 1 cent.
Quote: Cut up souvenir sheet. Having fun with the imperf and bisects from the S.S. Paying 3.5c Nice looking cachet!
I think your math is off. Half of 1 cent is .5 and half of 3 cents is 1.5 when added together equals 2 cents. Add the 1 cent stamp and you have 3 cents.
