Here is a selection of covers with Ilminster postage due marks starting with two postcards from 1904 and 1910 that have been sent without a stamp and received "1D / 401" postage due marks. "401" was the post office number for Ilminster.
Another postcard sent in 1907 with manuscript "Contrary to Regulations 1d to pay". The charge does not relate to the torn stamp (which probably happened after it was sent) but to the glitter on the front of the postcard, which meant that it was liable to the letter rate.
Posted unpaid on Christmas Day in 1908.
Two underfranked postcards from 1922 and 1923. The postcard rate was 1d from 29th May 1922 (having been more than 1d before that).
Here's an example from the earlier period (13th June 1921 to 29th May 1922) when the postal rate was 1½d, the postcard only having a 1d stamp.
An unfranked postcard in 1929 had 2d to pay.
In 1942 this unfranked envelope had 5d to pay.
