Hi Elmer, 5c France Customs Revenue. Mercury with winged Petasos, holding a Tariff sheet Caduceus in the right hand, and sitting on a timber freight box. Cornucopia Horn bottom left (sign of abundance)
"Douane" means customs. This is a customs tax stamp of France of 1897, listed in the Forbin catalog which can be found on the Stamp Smarter site.
What makes this very interesting is the Poste Cherifienne cancel, which makes the usage from French Morocco. Genuine use? Maybe someone else can confirm.
