I'm looking for ideas as to why someone would carefully write "Canal Zone" on this stamp.
Looking at how the ink bleed at the torn part of the perforations, it appears that the lines were added after the stamp was separated from the neighboring stamp.
It came in a junk pile, off paper. So I have no context.
It is possible that this was a collector's label for an envelope of stamps. I have seen collections/accumulations where a box of stamps has envelopes of stamps with labels, or a stamp indicating what is in each envelope.
