Sorry Sam, I missed your post. You are correct, it is Japan. I wasn't sure if it was Japan or Ryukyus at first, even though the 1929 date should have eliminated the latter.
There is a remote possibility that it might be older Taiwan, since it was a Japanese territory at that time. I'm only acquainted with 1960s+ TB seals from Taiwan. But pre-1950 seals...???
Is there a section for Taiwan or Formosa in the Green catalog?
Green's (always shown as the possessive) catalogue is the bible for TB seals. it comes in three parts: US national; US locals; and foreign. It is similar to Scott for US national seals from 1907-1979, although Green's admits more varieties and illustrates them far better. Its numbering system is different, with 1907's two seals being numbered as 7.1 and 7.2, rather than WX1 and WX2 so that the primary number corresponds to the year of issue.
Green is Dick Green, one of the legends of seal collecting. The current editor of US nationals is Stephen Nawrocki.
