This beautiful UK stamp sg254, has the date divided into two cancellations, the upper one can read June 17 but I In botton cancellation, 1902 or 1906...
It was used on registered mail, very likely a parcel: up to 1 lb. and £10, or 2 lb. and £ 5. It could be 1905. A '2' does not fit the shape. I think it best fits '06.' If so, it may be a chalk-surfaced De La Rue stamp.
The paper under a magnifying glass looks like this, it looks like it has a layer of long, shiny tangled fibers... I don't have more copies to make a comparison..
