Honduras, Air Post Official, Scott # Co88, With Purple "Restadas" Marking

Hi,

Here's a Honduras stamp with a marking that I was curious about.

Maybe it's just writing from the envelope, but I wondered if the purple "REstadas" had any significance?
I found it interesting that the it seems to have the same color as the purple line cancel on the stamp, which made me wonder if it has some official purpose.

Some ideas:
-from Google translate, "restados" or "restadas" might mean subtracted or deducted
-maybe it's supposed to be "R. Estados or Estadas", maybe "R." for "republica" and "estados" for "states" or something similar

Any ideas about it?

Yes,
my guess is they are officials, and Officials had rubber stamps with their signature, such as yours.

I have his signature (along with others) as well

Pure speculation.

I agree with Rod. It looks like R. Estadas (Estradas?) or his assistant cancelled the stamp with a handstamp that included his signature. Maybe fiscal use.

For the record.
Last stamp has the R Estrada or similar.
