Looks official as a canceling machine slug. More should be out there.

Not listed here: https://www.postal-markings.org/listing-full.html

But that is where you could direct your question, The Auxiliary Markings Club.

This cancel is listed in Hanmer's "A Collectors Guide to U.S. Machine Postmarks, 1871-1925" 3rd ed, 1989, as an International machine marking, rarity of RR, very few known.

"International Service Markings", Machine Cancel Society Study #30, 1999, lists this mark known from Sept 1905 to June 22, 1909, so nearly 4 years. Still, a very uncommon and desirable machine postmark.
