Allen & Morton,  Allen & Morton's West-London Directory for 1867

“ Scissors, knives, razors, forks, steel pens, nails, keys, watch machinery, metal tubing, pieces of metal or ore, and such like, as samples, may be sent, provided they be packed in so secure a manner as to afford complete protection to the contents of the mail bags and the officers of the Post Office, while at the same time they may be easily examined. Any packet containing such articles as these, which is found not sufficiently guarded will be stopped, and notice given thereof, but it will be charged with a fine equal to the postage to which it was liable as a packet of patterns. ”
