Revenue ID Help Again Please

Rod, I'm not entirely sure they belong among 'Revenues'. The archaic script in the horseshoe is a severe pain in the nether regions, but I see a character there for 'company'. These may be a private issue. I'm not sure if the Constant Companion is the full bottle on this Seal Script, but I'll try to remember to run it past her, and see if she can re-write it for me in less than 3000 year-old style.

Another wild thought that came to me. The 'things' character can also mean 'type' or 'variety', so the inscription might read '1000 [whatever] type'. The character has yet another meaning, 'seed', so I suppose it might, at a very great stretch, refer to shipments of seedlings.

If you want to understand my perplexity, this http://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E7%A8%AE is an online dictionary page for the wretched character.

I'll back in Forbin as weighted towards revenues Tony,
I could not see them including them if they were
a dedicated item seal.
As for the perplexity, I'll leave that to you
You should be used to it now, collecting the Princely States

Appreciation, of course, goes without saying.

The Costa Rica Treasury stamp would be a superb addition to my tall ships collection.

So I got to thinking that Yvert lists some "colis postaux" issues, and not just for France, so I checked to see if these were listed under Japan, and I didn't see them. It is difficult to use that to prove what these aren't, and I'm not up to speed with Yvert's listing policies. (Their policies could be just as Byzantine as Scott's, for all I know.)

But it might lend some additional support to their revenue-ness?

Now, Rod, as you well know, Japanese postage stamps, let alone revenues aren't my thing, so you'll naturally treat my remarks with great caution ...

My difficulty with these stamps as revenues is that Japanese postage stamps of that era were all inscribed 'Japanese Empire':



These stamps, however, are inscribed 'Domestic freight ... company ... freight ...' with the ellipses standing for characters I can't make out. Here are the crucial first three characters, though:



If I didn't know that Forbin classified them as revenues, I'd unhesitatingly say they were private freight company prepayment labels.

Incidentally, the large character at the top of the stamps is the same as the third character in my 'Domestic freight'. It has a range of meanings associated with carriage and mail.

Edit: Having worked on the characters in the horseshoe a bit more, I can now make out everything except the last couple - I think. They read (right to left) Local/Domestic Forwarding Company Freight ...

I think Forbin is wrong, and these, on the face of it at least, are private freight company labels. However, having said that, a Google search didn't throw up the company name.
