Minehead Krag cancels 1934, 1938 on commercial advertising envelopes

 Here are two commercial envelopes advertising J. Webber & Sons, Florists in Minehead, from 1934 and 1939.

It appears that James Webber & Sons had joined the Florists Telegraph Delivery Association between the two dates (called Interflora from 1953).  This allowed them to send telegrams to Florists in other locations to get flowers delivered.

Weston-super-Mare Krags

Here are a selection of Krag machine cancels from Weston-super-Mare, starting with a straight-line cancel from 1913.

Next, two examples of the "BUY NATIONAL / WAR BONDS" slogan cancel from 1918.

Next, another straight-line Krag cancel from 1921.  The contents are a proxy form for a meeting of the Somerset Mineral Railway Company. 

And finally a Krag with the "MIND / HOW YOU GO / ON THE ROAD" slogan and an 871 triangle used for printed matter in 1949.

Wells

To break up all the Bath handstamps (more to come later), here are a couple of items from Wells, starting with a Free front franked by the Bishop of Bath & Wells, George Henry Law, from Wells to Sandwich.

It was franked and posted on 9th January 1840, the last day of the uniform fourpenny post and the last day of franking privilege, and has a London Free mark dated 10th January 1840, the first day of the uniform penny post.

Secondly here is a postcard with a Wells Krag machine cancel from August 1935.
