Climax Rubber Handstamps - Bath Sub-Offices (2)

Some more from Offixes under Bath ... Litton had three Ib "LITTON / BATH" handstamps, the first issued in 1896, the second known used from 1904 to 1910 and the third in 1919.  A Type III skeleton is also known used in July 1912.  The two sheets below show two examples in violet from 1908 and 1909 (the second type Ib handstamp), and a distorted example in black from 1922 (the third type Ib handstamp).

Midford had a Type I "MIDFORD" handstamp issued in 1885 and then three Type Ib "MIDFORD / BATH" handstamps, the first issued in 1905, the second known used in 1907 and the third used in 1914-15. The examples below are from 1905 (first type Ib) and 1907 (second type Ib) - there are small differences in the size of the letters in the handstamps.

Monkton Combe had a Type Ib "MONCKTON COMBE / BATH" handstamp issued in 1891 and then three more Type Ib "MONKTON COMBE / BATH" handstamps (corrected spelling), the first known used 1911-1914, the second 1916-1917 and the third in 1922.  The example below is from 1920 and is probably of the second "MONKTON COMBE/ BATH" handstamps.

Odd Down (not to be confused with Old Down) had a Type Ib "ODD DOWN / BATH" handstamp issued in 1898, and then two more, the first known used in 1906 (a much smaller typeface), and the second known used in 1912 - the example below, from 1914, is of this third type.
