Here are a selection of perfins used at Bristol, starting with a GWR one used in 1909. The Great Western Railway was a prolific user of perfins. Perfins were used to stop stamps being misused or sold back to a post office for gain.
Baker, Baker & Co. were wholesale and retail drapers. The example below is from 1912.
Robbins were the Imperial Saw Mills in Cumberland Road. The example below is from 1916.
