Climax Rubber Handstamps - Bridgwater sub-offices (2)

Cossington had three "COSSINGTON / BRIDGWATER" Type Ib handstamps issued, in 1890, prior to September 1906 and prior to July 1919 (the latter two not in the Proof Books).  The example below is from September 1917 and shows some distortion so may actually be another, as yet unrecorded, handstamp.

Dodington had three "DODINGTON / BRIDGWATER" Type Ib handstamps, issued in 1893 and prior to 1911 and to 1915.  This last handstamp may actually be two very similar ones as the handstamp is known distorted in 1921 while the example below from August 1923 is in good condition.

Enmore had three "ENMORE / BRIDGWATER" Type Ib handstamps, issued in 1890, prior to 1911 (not in the Proof Books) and in 1915.  The example below is from the second handstamp and extends the known usage from 1911 to July 1914.

Holford went through cancels at a rate of knots - it had seven "HOLFORD / BRIDGWATER" Type Ib handstamps, issued in 1891, prior to June 1905, prior to June 1912, prior to December 1913, prior to June 1914, prior to May 1920 and prior to September 1924.  It also had two different "HOLFORD / BRIDGWATER" Type 3 skeleton cancels, known used in September 1913 and May-June 1914.   The example below is from May 1912.

In addition here is a previously unknown "HOLFORD / BRIDGWATER / SOMERSET" Type 2 handstamp from July 1927.
