Taunton Penny Post - unboxed "No.1"

Following the 1828 reorganisation, a new Receiving House was established at Norton Fitzwarren in February 1829.  The Receiving House had the unboxed "No.1" handstamp (the old boxed "No.1" handstamp was used at Gore Inn for Bishops Lydeard, which became the new unboxed "No.2).

Here are a couple of examples of the unboxed "No.1" handstamp, the first of which includes inside a drawing of "The natural position of man".
