Taunton 4VOS issued on 30th August 1869

Taunton had a four-bar Vertical Oval Single cancel (4VOS) issued on 30th August 1869.  This cancel wore away so that by 1872 it was a three-bar vertical oval single cancel (3VOS).

Here are some examples of the 4VOS cancel from October 1869, June 1871 and September 1871.


And here is an example from November 1872, by when the cancel has worn to a 3VOS.
