Some Climax rubber cancels from post offices under Ilminster

A few more sheets of Climax rubber cancels, this time from some of the post offices under Ilminster.  The first sheet has examples of two of the three cancels issued to Ashill.


 Next come a couple of sheets of cancels from Barrington.  Barrington has four types of cancel, the first of which is recorded as a proof but not yet recorded in use.


Horton had seven Climax rubber cancels (again, the first was recorded as a proof but hasn't been recorded in use).  The sheet below has examples of the last recorded in use, from 1921.

Ilton has three cancels recorded (again the first was proofed but not yet recorded in use).  Below is an example of the second cancel used, from 1912 - there are two examples below but the second is not dateable - and examples of the third type.

Finally here is an example of the second cancel for Stocklinch, unfortunately not completely dateable as the final digit of the year is not completely readable (0 or maybe 6 perhaps).
