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.

Random (3) - Taunton TSOs, West Harptree, Winsford, Yatton

The final batch of this random walk through Somerset, starting with some modern Taunton town sub-office (TSO) self-inking datestamps from North Street and Station Road from October 2013.

Next we go to West Harptree for a rather patchy "WEST HARPTREE / BRISTOL" steel cancel from August 1907.

Then to Winsford near the border with Devon, with a registered letter bearing steel "WINSFORD / SOM" single ring cancels dated September 1921.

And we end up with a postcard from Yatton, near Bristol with a "YATTON" double ring double-arc cancel dated January 1904 (and a private violet receiving mark from the Junior Constitutional Club in London).  The postcard has a nice view of Yatton church.
