First time seeing this type of impression. I thought it was a grille but not leaning that direction now.If you know what this is or what has caused this phenomenon please enlighten me. Thanks!
It's a roller cancel of the type usually used to cover signatures and dollar amounts on checks. If the stamp happened to be nearby it got cancelled that way as well, a fairly common occurrence.
This stamp has lead a very hard life, and not all rollers are the same. At this point it's impossible to know all that has happened to this particular item.
