Taunton Penny Post - unboxed "No.2"

In the 1828 Taunton Penny Post reorganisation Gore Inn for Bishops Lydeard became Receiving House No.2 (having had the boxed "No.1" handstamp).  The initial unboxed "No.2" handstamp was rather ornate.




This next entire, from June 1842, shows a different, plain, "No.2" handstamp.

And this final example from November 1842 shows a third type of "2".
