Good morning - Can anyone tell me what Scott number this stamp. I'm mostly curious about the history. Thank you!

The stamp looks to me like a Scott 405 from 1912. Because it has no perforations on the bottom and right 2 sides, the stamp is likely from a booklet pane of 6 stamps (405b) which is common for travelers to use while on trains -- the "TR.3" in the cancellation indicates this is an RPO cancel (Railway Post Office), so the postcard was mailed from a train, "Trip #3". I cannot make out the cancellation but the image on the other side of the postcard may give a clue of the origin.

There are many variations of this stamp depending on the type of watermark and perforations. You can find an identifier here,

Thank you for responding! The pic on the back is the College of Law at the University of Illinois.
