Ran into this unexploded booklet (cover and back shown below). Inside it has a gummed label with a red Insured U.S.Mail sticker and a record keeping page entitled 'Record of Prepaid Domestic Insured Mail' that you use if you have to file a claim. Can anybodu supply any additional info about this item?   |

Can anybodu supply any additional info about this item? It was a self-service product sold through vending machines either at post offices or free-standing postal kiosks. I remember them from the 1970s I think. I even bought one. Don't have a clue where it is or if I still have it. They are Scott catalog listed if you have access to them. Also Mr Google might shed more light on the subject. Jeff |

Thanks idtrue66 for the link, which certainly explained what I have. JeffS, your note about being Scott listed prompted me to re-examine the Table of Contents of my Scott Specialized where I found the entry under 'Postal Insurance Stamps'- I had been looking for 'Vended***' or 'Insurance***' and missed it. The one I have is cataloged as QI2 with a value of $4.00. Thanks to you both!
