Some Taunton Cachets

Here is the first tranche of some Taunton cachets, starting with a framed "More to pay / above one oz" cachet from April 1877.

This next item, a postcard addressed to Wlodzimierska in present day Poland in August 1918, was undeliverable because of a lack of postal service due to the Russian Revolution.

The envelope below from October 1934 was undeliverable because the addressee had "Gone Away" and was also liable to 2d postage due being "Liable to Letter Rate".  The 2d postage due had been cancelled in anticipation of being collected from the addressee but was then marked with a violet "Charge not collected" envelope cachet.

The envelope below was rather cheekily franked with three panes from a stamp booklet printed with "MINIMUM INLAND PRINTED PAPER RATE 1½d" and was thus liable to 3d postage due.

The sender of the postcard below in 1954 was a bit behind the times, having franked it with a 1½d stamp when the postcard rate had gone up to 2d some 14 years before in 1940.
