Bath had a 24 x 5 mm handstamp from 1788 to 1795. I have about a dozen examples, too many to show in one post, so here are a selection starting with one from November 1788.
This next example from January 1789 has some interesting contents relating to the tithe.
This example from June 1789 was charged 2/6 as it weighted 3¾ ozs.
This letter from January 1791 is a Bishop giving thanks for the fine food he has been given.
Here is a letter from Bath to Goettingen in August 1791. It has a number of crayon markings relating to the postage abroad which I don't understand fully (any explanations gratefully received).
And finally an entire from Bath to Dumfries in September 1794.
