Railway Parcel Stamp.

Hello everyone. I am going through some old stamps and came across one that I cannot value (because I can find very little information about it!).

It is a Parcel Stamp from the London & North Western Railway Company (8d).

I have found an image of one on an external site but would be interested in knowing the value (or where I could find out).

The one I have is in better condition than this one:

Thanks Simon

Hi simonskelly! Welcome!

I do not have the answer myself.

Look on this link for some info:

Elsewhere they seem to be called Railway Letter (or Parcel) Stamps.

I Googled GB railway stamps and lots came up, dealers, sites, catalogues. Seem to be rare and sought after.

Hi Puzzler,

Thanks for your reply - I'll take a look!

If you haven't found an answer in a months time I will be able to help.
I am in the process of purchasing a few CD catalogues from someone I know. One of them is about Railway Stamps. {GB}.

Keep the thread warm !

Simon, I just realized I sent you back to the same sight you had got the pic link from. Sorry. I got involved in looking at them all and forgot everything else. Also it was late and I was have way to dream land.

No problem Puzzler, I know the feeling!

Just found this one... :)
