I looked at it under the scope just now. I did not find any glue and the paper looks the same. little foxing to the left of the stamp. when I hold it up to my light the name Parker Is written and goes under the stamp the ink on the cancellation line up with the paper.
I would have expected the writing under the stamp to have said "Paid" as that was a common occurrence. The 492 is correct, as chipg said, and the back stamp confirms that. The address in London is of The Schoolmistresses and Governesses Benevolent Institution.
