Hi Everybody!
One of my stamps has on the back a double impression of what I think to be a collector stamp.
Does anyone have a similar item, please? If so, do you know to whom it belonged?
The stamp is a 1c design A44a circulated, with a fancy cancellation.
Thank you very much in advance!

Mystery solved
The backstamp is from a stamp dealer partnership: Errington & Martin, South Hackney, London. Their partnership ceased in 1919, apparently.
I just wonder how does the backstamp change the market value of the stamp itself

There are collectors of historic stamp dealer markings and ephemera. The stamp is certainly worth more with the marking than it would be without it.
