Hello again!
I'd very much appreciate information about the Continental Daily Parcels Express.
Was that an agency or a line, what possible connections are there to postal services.
I have seen a parcel card London-Dover-Ostende.
The card seems to be from Belgischen Staats Post Dienst Zwischen Ostende und Dover, but I do not understand whether it was issued by the Post or by some private enterprise.
Thanking you in advance from a very chilly Stockholm
Pia
Hi Pia
Would it be possible to see a scan of this card?
kind regards
Nigel
Hi Pixie
What I can tell you about this parcel is as follows;
It was a sealed insured C.O.D. parcel.
Sealed because you can see a copy of the seal that will have been applied to the parcel.
Insured because the value is given, and the registration label is in red.
C.O.D. is confirmed by the ´Auslagen` mark.
Much of the information is given on the reverse of the card, which states that the service ran daily between Ostend and Dover except for sundays.
As to when the service was instituted and when it ceased I sadly cannot tell you. I have not seen such a card before.
kind regards
Nigel
Good morning Nigel,
Thank you so much for this answer.
Much has been clarified, if not all.
It is always exciting to have such an item, valuable or not.
My friend purchased it only for the transit stamp Malmö.
Kindest regards,
Pia
