Bristol Miscellany (with a bit of Taunton)

Straying a little from Somerset here are some items associated with Bristol, starting with a Mercantile Marine Office Certificate of Discharge from May 1893.

Next a postcard with glitter that should have been sent at the Letter Rate, with a violet "1D / 134" postage due handstamp from January 1906.

 And finally a windowed envelope posted overseas from Taunton in January 1970 with a black framed "APERTURE ENVELOPES ARE / PROHIBITED IN THE OVER / SEAS POST AIR OR SURFACE" cachet.  The cover was then passed to Returned Letter Section in Bristol for return to the sender with the enclosed letter.
