I have just acquired an example of a new Wambrook rubber climax cancel - new as in newly recorded as it was used in March 1923. This cancel is "WAMBROOK / CHARD / SOMERSET" with "CHARD" in serif text.
Wambrook has had four recorded rubber climax cancels; below are examples of the first ("WAMBROOK / CHARD", known 1911) and third ("WAMBROOK / CHARD / SOMT", known 1922-1923) recorded cancels, the second is of a similar format to the first but has smaller text for the "CHARD" and is only recorded used in 1915.This next one is the first recorded example of the "MOSTERTON / CREWKERNE" rubber climax cancel that was issued in December 1896. It was recorded in the Stamp Impression Book but had not been previously seen. It was used here in February 1913.
