More Taunton

Here are a few more Taunton covers.  The one below is from North Curry for Canada but has been underpaid at 3d, so received a large "1d" charge mark (probably at Taunton) and then a large "2" (cents) charge mark, probably at Toronto.


Next is printed matter from Taunton to Stogumber in September 1881 with an undated Taunton "776" 3-bar vertical oval cancel.  It has the imprint of Edwin Wotton & Co of Taunton.

The contents are about the bankruptcy of William and Albert Feathgerstone.

 

 The next item is not postal, being a receipted invoice dated Lady Day (25th March) 1929 from Hanwkes & Sons Ltd.  The receipt shows an early tractor pulling some agricultural machinery.

The next item, from February 1993 was not to be redirected, as it was about a redirection request.

And finally here is a Taunton SID (Self-Inking Datestamp) on another redirection form, dated March 1999 - and bearing an impressive £26 of stamps.
