Early two-line "ILMIN / STER" handstamp

The wrapper below has a two-line "ILMIN / STER" handstamp, previously unrecorded in the British County Catalogue.  Unfortunately it is undated.

Based on the London Bishop Mark and the 4d postal rate to London, it must date from 1713-1784, probably the latter part of that period.
