Parcel Post 1884: Surface-Printed 2 shilling 6 pence lilac, used with Jubilee 1887, 4 pence green & brown and 1890, 10 pence dull purple & carmine, all of fresh colour and mainly good perforations, tied by undated circular “LEOMINSTER” to a parcel envelope sent to Rangoon, Burma, with manuscript British parcel number “46” in blue crayon, and an arrival cds in Rangoon (indistinguishable date). In addition, the India PO have removed the envelope from the parcel and applied a Parcel Control Label numbered “125” with “BOMBAY” boxed handstamp in purple. Heavy vertical filing fold through 4 pence and the corners of the envelope repaired from contemporary damage. Rare combination; only recorded example of an Indian “Parcel Control Label” on incoming mail. Note: The UK began its parcel post service on 1 August 1883, three years after signing the Special Convention on Parcel Post (Paris 1880). The British opted for parcel labels glued onto parcels, even though parcels were irregular in shape, being wrapped in brown paper and held together by twine - joined under wax or lead seals. Cardboard boxes at the time were flimsy and rarely used. The British parcel system was modeled on its registry system, negating the need for the double-tracking of parcel envelopes used by most countries and adopted by the UPU. However, when sending parcels abroad, the British PO had to use parcel envelopes within the UPU parcel operating system.
