Bristol Packet Cancels part 1

As this blog has been running since July 2011, I'm beginning to run out of items to post up, so interspersed in the next few posts will be ones about Bristol Packet cancels.  These are plain circular cancels with a variety of lettering ("BRISTOL", "BRISTOL, TAUNTON", "BRISTOL / BATH & TAUNTON" plus others) and often with a range of code numbers.  A catalogue of these cancels can be seen here.  I'm going to be posting up relatively modern examples (1970s onwards).

This first set I'm showing here have "- * -" at the bottom with a variety of sizes of "BRISTOL" at the top.  As "Packet Cancels" the cancels have been collected on piece.   

The next set also have "-*-" at the bottom but also have a code number in the range of 1 to 48 or 50, so there are a lot of examples to collect, or maybe accumulate is a better word.
