The sheet below has three Parcel Post Labels (PPLs) used at Wells, in 1896, 1897 and 1900. The top PPL has a large handstruck "3" for the parcel post charge - 3d was the minimum parcel rate, for a 1-2 lb parcel. The second PPL has a triangular "WEJ" handstamp used on telegraphs and "WELLS SOMERSET / M.O & S.B" circular handstamps (Money Order & Savings Bank), while the third PPL has "WELLS / SOMERSET" circular handstmaps.
