Frome Boxed Mileage and "306" 4VOS

A couple of items from Frome, starting with a "FROOM / 115" boxed mileage handstamp from 1802.  This handstamp is known used 1802-1807, and the British County Catalogue has another "FROOME / 115" boxed mileage handstamp used 1803-1804.  I do not have a copy of this second handstamp.

Secondly here is a Frome "306" 4-bar vertical oval single cancel (4VOS), used in 1878.  Frome was issued with two 4VOS cancels; this is an example of the second one, issued in 1871.
