Ilminster

I don't have any of the early handstamps of Ilminster, my earliest being from 1824.  Starting with an introduction:

 Ilminster had the "401" numeric obliterator.

 It's always nice to get a postcard with a nice cancel and a view of the place.

 And finally a continuous machine cancel from 1958.
