Some more recent acquisitions

Firstly a straight-line "CHARD" from 1768, with an early bishopmark.

Then a couple of items from Crewkerne, firstly a maltese cross from 1844 (just before the numeral obliterators came out in May 1844).

And an item from Haselbury, under Crewkerne, with a "Haselbury / Penny Post" handstamp that looks brown, but is probably just black.

Finally a faint "ILMINSTER" circular handstamp, with 10d postage erased and replaced by 1/8d, with a nice red Inspector's mark.
