Not easy to find information about this stamp but it seems to be related with the first voyage of the Graf Zeppelin to Brazil in 1930.

Sites are in Portuguese:

As described in the first link, a set of stamps were ordered specifically for this voyage from Germany to be used for correspondence sent on the Zeppelin. The stamp pictured above is Z-6, an overprinted Condor stamp with the 5000 réis (5$000).

The stamp may well be this one:
23 de maio de 1930 - Selo Aéreo Zeppelin 5000 Réis Verde (Graf Zeppelin Usa)
May 23, 1930 - Air Mail Zeppelin stamp 5000 reis green (Graf Zeppelin USA)

A rare postal envelope is in the first link:

E4673-1930-ENVELOPE RIO DE JANEIRO/USA with the rair Z-6
Sent May 24th, 1930 to Cincinnati, Ohio.

Hope this helps!
If you need to understand anything else from the page, try google translate or just ask me!

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the added information. I will designate the stamp as the Z-6.

Best regards,

George
