Wellington and Wells - Money Order Savings Bank cancels

Here are two examples of Money Order & Savings Bank cancels, from Wellington and from Wells.  The first, from Wellington is a postcard from November 1912.

The second, a registered and fragile envelope is from Wells in June 1901.  The blue diagonal lines mean 'Fragile' and that the letter should not be transferred by railway T.P.O. equipment.

Both Wellington and Wells had to have the county name (or an abbreviation) in their cancels, to distinguish from Wellington (Shropshire) and Wells (Norfolk).
