Parcel Concessions

These are another set of parcel post stamp pairs like the previous pages. The difference here is that these are parcel post concession stamps (Pacchi in Concessione). Those were for used for packages that were delivered by private company or state contracted carriers. There were similar stamps issued for private delivery. You can see them and an explanation a few pages back, on the Pneumatic page.

Note

These stamps are not easy to find now. They weren’t widely used in their day and not as many were printed. As a result, they’re expensive. It will be a long while before I have all of them.
