Not enough for me to tell what this cancel is. Thought if it was familiar to anyone it might be easy to tell.

Did you check the fancy cancel books already? It looks like a signet ring.

The only fancy cancel literature I have is, "Cancellations and Killers of the Banknote Era". I don't see anything like it there.

With 2,044,700 copies issued over the 5 years that stamp was printed by the American BNC, and all of the various offices that were issued Interior stamps, that cancel could be almost anything, like the Signet ring mentioned.
You get all sorts of cancels on the Departmental stamps. Here's one I've been trying to figure out for years...I think that it's a bottle top.

Bears with my first thought of a signet. I suspect the center design consists of two letter "S"'s artistically rendered.
