"More to Pay" or "Not Known"


Happy Christmas !

This cover from Bath to Reading in April 1861 has a nice "MORE TO PAY / OVER   OZ" cachet and a manuscript "2" with initials.

This next item was addressed to Clifton from Bridgwater in May 1883 but has a manuscript "Not Known" with initials.  The contents are a notice regarding the Somersetshire Drainage Act of 1877.

 This next item from Weston-super-Mare to Cork in June 1942 was insufficiently paid and was censored.  The Examiner has taken the trouble to write "The" on the censorship seal where it overlaid the original address.

And finally a windowed envelope from Taunton in March 1992 without a stamp.  By then postage due of double the deficiency had been replaced with the postage deficiency plus a handling fee.  In this case it was cheaper than double the deficiency would have been.

Wellington - Skeleton, Triangular, Not Known cancels

Finally a few "odds and ends" handstamps for Wellington.  Firstly a "WELLINGTON / SOMERSET" skeleton cancel used on 2nd May 1912.  According to information from the S&DPHG Journal, this cancel was in use from 30th March to 6th May 1912.

Secondly a Printed Matter envelope cancelled with a Wellington "860" triangular cancel.

And finally a "NOT KNOWN / WELLINGTON SOMERSET" cachet used in 1986.
