Parcel Post

As I mentioned and explained already, these stamps were for shipping packages with the Italian post office. One half was attached to the package and the other to the receipt sent back to the sender to indicate the package was delivered. I suggest you read the text on the previous page, if you haven’t already, to learn more about these stamps.

Note

As you can see, I have all of the stamps for this album page. These are fairly available at stamp dealers in Italy and not too expensive.

Contains 24 spots: own 24 – 24 unused, 0 used.

Footnotes

Spot refers to the postion of the stamp on the album page (e.g., 3.2 indicates row 3, position 2).
Amt. is an abbreviation for the face amount of the stamp.
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.
