Two examples here of the framed "Not called for / 871" cachet used at Weston-super-Mare, the first from 1902 with a nice "M.O.O." (Money Order Office) cancel. Weston-super-Mare became a Money Order Office in 1842 and a Savings Bank branch in 1862 - so in 1902 the cancel should be "M.O & S.B" rather than "M.O.O", probably a case of taking any old cancel out of the drawer when the postcard was handed in at the post office.
The envelope below from 1961 was also not called for and received the same framed "Not called for / 871" cachet. In this case the envelope had been posted from Warminster.
