Martock

Here are a few items from Martock, starting with a partial straight line handstamp from 1822.  The contents indicate that you could write a cheque on anything, for example as part of a letter.

Next a "MARTOCK / 126" circular mileage mark from 1842, along with a maltese cross cancel.  The mileage mark shows where the letter came from but obviously not the date.

Here is a skeleton cancel from August 1914 ....

... a "MARTOCK / SOMERSET" 24mm single ring cancel used on an FDC, ...

... and finally a "MARTOCK SOMERSET" self-inking datestamp (SID) from 2003 (and a cutout with a "MARTOCK / SOMERSET" single ring that I haven't got round to writing up yet).
