Finishing off the Somerset "C"s that I have acquired in the last months, here are a couple of items from Compton Martin, starting with a postcard from 1903 that was posted on Christmas Day, and probably delivered then too.
The next envelope is from 2023 and appears to have the same Compton Martin cancel as the example above from 1903, 120 years earlier !
Cottles Oak is a suburb of Frome - here is a registered envelope from 1978 with Cottle Oak cancelations and a Frome 6 registration etiquette.
Finally here is an envelope, still with its original contents, sent to "Curry Rivel, Taunton" with a manuscript "Insufficient Address".
The top image shows a Compton Martin single-ring handstamp, but the 2023 one is a double-ring, I think?
