Climax Rubber Handstamps - Dulverton & Frome sub-offices

I only have one sub-office for each of Dulverton and Frome.

Hawkridge was originally under Tiverton and had a "HAWKRIDGE / TIVERTON" Type Ib handstamp issued in July 1891 before it transferred to Dulverton where a "HAWKRIDGE / DULVERTON / SOMERSET" Type 2 handstamp was in use by June 1913.  The example below is dated September 1926.

Whatley had two "WHATLEY / FROME" Type Ib handstamps, the first issued in July 1893 and the second known from October 1914.  The example below is from February 1920.
