Ilminster 'Dulwich' cancels

'Dulwich' cancels, double circle double-arc cancels, are so-called because they were first issued to Dulwich.  Here are a couple of different ones from Ilminster, the first is from 1925-1926 ...

... and the second from 1937-1944.  This second cancel has thicker and slightly longer arcs.  The top envelope was posted on the first day of issue of the definitive stamps it bears.
