Taunton part 1

Some Taunton marks, starting with some earlier ones; the first is an albino straight-line handstamp from 1738.  The straight line handstamp has a tall initial "T".

The next, from 1799, is a "horseshoe" handstamp with a dot between the "T" and "N".

Another straight-line handstamp, this time from 1800 and 1801.

And a final straight-line handstamp from 1821.  It is possible that this is a re-use of an earlier straight-line handstamp that is known used between 1789 and 1792 (unfortunately I don't yet have an example of the handstamp from that earlier period to compare with).
