Taunton Penny Post - unboxed "No.5"

The Receiving House with the unboxed "No.5" handstamp should be Bicknoller.  In April 1829 the residents of Bicknoller had applied for an official Post.  As a result a Receiving House was established.  However examples of the unboxed "No.5" handstamp are nearly unknown.  The example below from 1831 may be a "No.5" handstamp, though it is not completely clear.
