Some Skeletons - Holford, Midford, Marston Magna, Stoke under Ham, Templecombe SO, West Harptree and Williton

A random accumulation of Skeletons, starting with a Climax rubber skeleton for Holford used on 29th May 1914.

The skeleton below from Midford used on 14th March 1906 was also a Climax rubber cancel.

The skeleton below from Marston Magna is only known used on 2nd October 1942.

... and the Stoke under Ham skeleton was also only known used on 16th February 1904.

This Templecombe S.O. skeleton was in use for about a month, from 2nd April to 3rd May 1912.

West Harptree's skeleton was in use for a month and a half from 19th July to 3rd September 1974.  As in the example below the "P" often does not print.

And finally a Williton skeleton that was in use for about a month, from 12th December 1909 to 10th January 1910.

UDC handstamps - Cossington, Curry-Rival, Temple Combe

Cossington had two undated circular handstamps issued - the example below, used on 2nd November 1850, is of the first handstamp which was issued on the 22nd May 1846 (the second was issued in May 1852).

Another example of the Curry-Rival serif handstamp, this time in black from January 1849 (I've already shown an example in blue from 1852 here).

An example of the late type, single-arc undated circular handstamp for Temple-Combe from 5th April 1858 (the handstamp is known used between 1st and 5th April 1858).
