Postage Due

The first set of stamps here is Recapito Autorizzato stamps, which means basically for Authorized Delivery. These are used by private companies for delivering mail. See a few pages back, the Private Mail section for a description.

The second set of stamps on this album page were used for postage due envelops. They’re described on the previous page. Those are mostly from the 1950s and much lower face amounts. These were used in the 1990s and later.

The last stamp, the one by itself at the bottom of this album page is another parcel post concession stamp. This type of stamp is explained on the Parcel Concessions page. Notice that this one is a single stamp and not a pair. Also, the face amount is much higher at 3000 lira.

Note

These weren’t too hard to find. I bought them in a couple of annual packs of stamps, except for the one at the bottom.

Contains 10 spots: own 10 – 10 unused, 0 used.

Own indicates the stamp status: ✓ for unused; ✗ for used or canceled; ⭑ signifies I ordered one; ; ✨ indicates it was bought recently; ✠ means an auction bid is pending; and ◎ is used, and it costs too much for unused.
To search by catalog number, go to the search box and enter it in the catalog number box. However, it’s a bit broken; I need to fix it.
