Dominical label

Dominical labels were included with Belgian definitives, commemoratives, semipostals and parcel post stamps issued between 1893 and 1913. The stamps had small labels attached inscribed NE PAS LIVRER LE DIMANCHE / NIET BESTELLEN OP ZONDAG ("Do not deliver on Sunday", a mind boggling concept for today). If the label was removed and placed on a letter, it permitted Sunday delivery. Stamps without attached labels can be easily recognized since they were originally issued with labels only and may show a portion of the top border of the label design.
