An authentic Southern Railway parcel label issued at Waterloo Station (No.16, S.6), valued at 10d (ten pence). This is a genuine pre-decimal British railway parcel ticket used for freight, luggage, and small parcels transported via the Southern Railway network.
Southern Railway operated between 1923 and 1947, with Waterloo being one of its busiest centres for parcel traffic. Higher-value parcel labels such as 10d are less common, as most parcels fell under cheaper rates. Surviving examplesespecially from a major hub like Waterlooare increasingly collectible.
This piece includes the original printed layout, the bold large-font fare, and serial number 7481, with faint purple cancellation marks and handwritten weight/parcel details still visible.
