The “118 SHIPTON / MALLET” handstamp
is known used from 1790 to 1796. It is thought that it was issued
earlier than 1790; there is only one handstamp known in use at
Shepton Mallet prior to this, and that was known used in 1772, so
there is plenty of scope for the mileage mark to be in use earlier
than 1790.
Currently
the item below is the latest known usage of the “118 SHIPTON / MALLET”,
used in November 1796.
