This is from the same Kiloware lot as the Ceylon Stamp but a completely different question. This is Bermuda Scott #53 (watermark #3) with fiscal usage, I believe. However, it is a rather interesting Cancel. When you flip the stamp it reads " ...?... Bermuda Lines" and "New York" clearly at the bottom of the Cancellation. A clear Date in 1922 is also visible.

Does this, as I suspect, have something to do with a Shipping Line? Further, since it appears to have been applied in the U.S.A., how would the stamp have been used? Passport documents, perhaps? Any insight would be helpful.

Great! And if I really knew my records search, I bet that I would stand a good chance of finding out who held those documents almost 100 years ago. Thank you for the confirmation.

Fiscal usage for passports and visas continued at 10/- through at least the 1940's. Many if not most cancelled 10/- keyplates from the KGVI era were used in this manner.
