This Company was fully written up by me in my series on British Parcels
Stamps in the Newsletter of the Parcels Stamps Group, No 1, 1997. Robson
Lowe's book is not very helpful. Basically, the Company was registered in
Great Britain on 4th July 1864. The stamps were issued from July 1864
until November 1864. The firm ran into difficulties and a resolution to
the stockholders to wind up was passed at a meeting on 9th November, 1864.
The premises were later used as a parcels receiving depot for the Great
Western Railway. The stamps are fully listed and illustrated in my article
on them. The Parcel Stamp Group is at Haugliveien 10, NO-4020 STAVANGER,
Norway. E-Mail aks.gsr@c2i.net. My articles are copyright and may not be
