Wells Misc 1

This is the first of a couple of miscellaneous posts on Wells, starting with a nice straight line cancel from 1767.

Next is a Parcel Post Label with "WELLS.SOMERSET / M.O & S.B" cancels dated October 1897 and a triangular "WEJ" handstamp.

A bit of ephemera - an invoice dated 1898 from the New Rock Coal Company which had a depot at the Somerset & Dorset railway station at Wells.

Next a registered envelope to the USA also with "WELLS.SOMERSET / M.O & S.B" cancels, dated January 1904.

And finally a postcard sent at Christmas 1909, with material stuck on the front making it liable to the letter rate, with a "1D / 864" handstamp and a framed "Liable to Letter Rate / 864" cachet.
