According to the Steel Impression Book (SIB), three-bar vertical oval single cancels (3VOS) were issued on 13th Janaury 1873, 28th October 1876, 17th November 1876 and 10th May 1879. I've only got examples of the first of these cancels, used in June 1873 and October 1876.
These cancels were also used as precancels on Newspaper Wrappers - here are a couple of examples on the
Somerset County Gazette and the
Devon and Somerset Weekly News. Neither example is clear enough to be able to distinguish which 3VOS cancel was used.
