Help me read the mark on the adhesive side of the brand, most likely this is a mark of ownership of this brand or an expert mark. There are two postal cancellations on the brand, one is a regular cancellation and the second is a manual cancellation in the form of a red line (most likely telegraphic) The letter D in the word Deutsches is not the same as on other varieties of this brand; the differences are highlighted in blue on the third screen. The right side frame, piled into the middle, perhaps the matrix was wax, could not withstand the temperature and the right side frame fell into the middle of the brand. A unique brand for true gourmets of phyllitali.

And, again, what is this rarity Rrr+ supposed to mean? Where does it come from? |

Mark on reverse is either an owners mark or a dealers mark. Not an experts mark that I have ever seen |

How is this nothing out of the ordinary? Look closely at the letter D, the letters D are different. Today I will take a photo of the two brands in comparison and post the photo. I have an entire collection based on brands with printing defects, mixed up Wz, etc. Sincerely!!!

If it is not ink from the cancellation, it is a slight overinking. Such variations are common. That is why it is not listed unless major and constant. |

The so-called "expert mark" reads "DEUTSCHES [KINDER?]-SCHECKAMT". If this is true, this translates roughly in "German Children's Check Office" - this is a strike of a toy cancel. I have to admit that the "KINDER" interpretation is a very shaky, but it would make some sense.
Most likely the stamp was given by a collector to a child. A placeholder for nicer stamp. |

Deutsches Jugend-Scheckamt. Kinderposts were mock-up cardboard post office toys for kids to play "post Office". I think these toys go back to at least the year 1900. |

I had an English version as a small child. They're fun, but you soon use up the stamps and envelopes. |

The stamp looks genuine. Toys would have had cruder and smaller stamps.
It is neither "KINDER," nor "JUGEND" -SCHECKAMT. "POST" and "ALTER," also, do not fit. It looks like "STEM," but I cannot find a reference to such an office, nor think of what a Stemscheck would be.
This might very well be something related to a government office that paid out some social benefit. Germany did have a pension scheme at the time. The problem, however, would be thatthe stamp appears used and any official stamp, likely, would have been applied over the gum. So, that backstamp, likely, is a fantasy. |

@DrKohler is correct! Many thanks for your eagle eyes!
@NSK: Sorry, I have to disagree - "DEUTSCHES * JUGEND-SCHECKAMT *" is the wording in the cancellation. This has nothing to do with a postal savings benefit scheme but is a cancel of a mock postal counter. |

I see the "JUGEND" now. As I wrote, it , likely, is a fantasy backstamp (not a cancellation, that is on the front). Quote: postal savings benefit scheme I never suggested it did. Social benefits had nothing to do with postal savings. |
