I originally made a post in 2014 that described the background to Climax Rubber cancels - see here. The time has come to post up a few more, starting with some under Taunton. In the intervening years the number of such cancels recorded used in Somerset has increased from 636 to 692 (nearly all new types rather than new places).
To date five different Climax Rubber cancels are known for Babcary. Most were under Taunton, with one under Somerton known from 1905 to 1907. The one below from August 1911, known in 1911-1912, can be distinguished from the one known later by the length of "TAUNTON".
Culmhead currently has three different cancels known, the one below is known 1914-1915 and is the latest known Climax cancel.
Only one Climax rubber cancel is known for Curland, and it is only known used in 1916. The cancel was issued in 1896.
Six different Climax rubber cancels are known for Luxborough, four under Taunton and two under Washford. Below are examples of the last two types, from 1922 and 1927.
And finally Shoreditch which has two types of Climax rubber cancel recorded - below are examples of both types, which can be distinguished by the length of "TAUNTON" in the cancels.
