Shepton Mallet - 1792 & 1793
Shepton Mallet as described in Pigot amd Co.'s National Commercial Directory of Somerset, 1844:
According to the British County Catalogue, the first handstamps for "SHIPTON MALLET" were albino strikes from 1721-1722, followed by strikes in black in 1772. The first handstamps I have are of the "118 SHIPTON / MALLET" handstamp in 1792 and 1793.
