Hello!

It doesnt look like any known brazilian postmark, so I suspect it's a foreign postmark, but I have no idea where it's from.

Every help is welcome! Thanks!

Possibly Italian?

FABRIT : third-person singular present active indicative of fabrio

Guess: Either a commemorative Pmk, or Revenue.
Note the red CDS below, any hint for you?

I have a red CDS ring on an 1848 30r "bullseye" that's the only one.

Maybe FABEIT ? German
Clue : second last letter can only be an "A" (slope of the leg)
so we have a postmark ending in AA

So what we know so far:

The name of the town ends with AA
The stamp does not have an inner circle.
The core consists of three lines
Has a word with ... fabri ..
It is from the 1880s, after 1884.

...and this is it!!
This is going to be difficult ...

Thanks rod222

In the German language, the word Fabrik indicates a factory, or mill. This may indicate a revenue usage.

The name of the town appears to end in NA.

Interesting, I still favour an "A" is seems to slope awkwardly for an "N"
but Pmks have an ability to Jinx us all.

I'd suggest "impossible"

I like this, fits well, would suggest German?

I would argue that the "n" does not slope awkwardly at all, since it is used in a circular/arcing grouping of letters.

The "Fabrik" suggests to me that this may be a German agricultural or mining operation in Brazil, for export back to the home country.
