Ecuador Revenue Test Stamp Gutter Pair?

First time I've seen anything like this (in multiple ways.)

Here is what I do know: It is clearly of the 1894-1895 Rocafuerte style (obvious.) The regular issues of that set are Orange though.

The 1894-1895 Officials are all black, as this one is, but all have the "Franqueo Official" in red across the top.

The cancel is a bit harder to understand; it looks like a pen cancel, but it is pretty darn straight.

The stamp does have original gum, but is hinged; leading me to think it was not postally used and then soaked off a cover.

Anyone have a guess?

The thickness of the line also has a lot of variation

These are Seebeck issues so anything is possible.

Can you elaborate on what Seebeck issues are? Thank you for the reply!

A quick internet search did the trick. Thanks again Perf12.

Interesting reading here on Seebeck....(Equador)

Thanks again; didn't answer what these are, but definitely learned something! Much appreciated.

This looks like a "pair imperf between" rather than a gutter pair.

I guess it's printer's waste but it's still a fun item.

Interesting. Just have not seen anything like it and like to think I've seen a lot of material from Ecuador in the last year and a half.

Also found these in the same lot; which I've never laid eyes on before. These do have the red overprint one would expect on this series of officials.
