Bristol Selection 1770 - 1830

Four Bristol handstamps starting with a large "B / RIS / TOL" handstamp from 1770.

Then a two-line "BRISTOL / date" handstamp from 1804.  Only the last digit of the year is showing.

Then a circular "BRISTOL / 122" handstamp, with only two digits showing for the year (1825). There is also a "TOO LATE" handstamp to indicate that it was posted too late for the mail.  The entire had been transported from Ireland before being put in the post at Bristol.

And finally an entire from Bristol to London in 1830 with a 25mm "BRISTOL" single arc handstamp.
