Climax Rubber Handstamps - Bridgwater sub-offices (3)

Middlezoy had two "MIDDLEZOY / BRIDGWATER" Type Ib handstamps, one issued in 1890 and another previously known used from December 1912.  The examples below are of the second handstamp, from April 1912 (so bringing the earliest known usage forward) and from December 1915.

Moorlynch had two "MOORLYNCH / BRIDGWATER" Type Ib handstamps, one issued in 1891 and another known used from January 1912.  Below are examples of both of these, the first from September 1911 and the second from November 1914 (the size of "BRIDGWATER" is noticeably different in the two cancels).

Othery has a single "OTHERY / BRIDGWATER" Type Ib handstamp, known used between October and December 1911.  The example below is from the end of this usage.

Puriton had three "PURITON / BRIDGWATER" Type Ib handstamps, one issued in 1893, another known used from September 1911 and a third from November 1916.  The example below is of the second handstamp.  From the clarity of the handstamp one can imagine that it was from near the start of its usage.
