Can Anyone Explain The Cancels On This Jamaica 1d King George V

There are two cancels, one red and one purple. Any comments explanations and insights welcomed.

Assuming the purple element represents a fiscal cancellation, you could ask the Revenue Reverend -

It looks like a 2 (red) . inside I read feder... (federal?; Federation?).
Could be the stamp was part of a bank document?

Well perf12, we here have gotten as far as what the owner though which was


The problem was sent to me as I am the parcel post guy but the question exceeds the details I know on other countries, especially lacking the other parts of a postal history item (meaning it is only a stamp). That said I did not just agree with the purple ink assumption and as noted by GeoffHa he though it could be a revenue cancel in purple. I did look at the link he provided but did not sent a question. Nothing on the link seemed to help here.

All that said, I do appreciate the comment from you, perf12 and GeoffHa.

Edit: I did not include what was in the quote above as I did not want to influence or misdirect the inquiry here. That said, that quote is the sum total of the "informed guess" that came with the image. The original, to me,image is the tilted first one, I rotated it for the second lower image and as a result clipped it some. Did not feel like figuring out how not to clip it when rotating the image as the clipping did not take anything away due to upper image.

Parcelpostguy –

How not to clip when rotating:

In Photoshop, enlarge "canvas size" before rotating.

How much to enlarge? Go with your gut.

I am tempted to agree with GeoffHa. 1d, is not a typical parcel use but it is a typical revenue use, as is the purple cancellation.

I went through every one of the over 400 pages in this exhaustive exhibit of Jamaican postal markings and could not find a match for the red figure.

Where British colony stamps of a given colony valid for use in a different colony?
The purple hand stamp does not appear to have a frame. Either rectangular or oval.

The purple cnacellation could come from a hand-stamp without edges. I'm not aware of stamps from one colony being used in another, except, perhaps, in exceptional circumstances, which 1935 wouldn't be.

Smells like "revenue" to me. I have a crapton of old journals. I won't look now, but if I run across something, I'll try to remember to post back here.

My guess is the cancel in red was done outside of Jamaica . A postal clerk somewhere else in the world wasn't happy with the poor quality of the other cancel and just hit it with another cancel ,with what ever was available

I'm reconsidering my thought that the purple represents a parcel post usage. Perhaps it is a docketing or other receiving mark done by a bank or other corporation...
