General Philatelic/Identify This? : This Japan stamp has me stumped...GOT ALL THE ANSWERS NOW!

Looked through the 2018 Scotts, StampWorld online catalogue, and old-fashioned Googling...all to no avail.

Even tried countries that might look like this (obviously?) Japanese stamp. Again, no luck (but I did identify some Manchukuos that I had in my China "to sort" envelope!)

Anyone with some insight on what this is, and Scott number (preferably)?

Many thanks, Dave.

It's a revenue stamp.

One usual difference between Japanese revenues vs definitives are that the revenues are usually quite a bit larger than the common postage stamps. If you can't find it in the catalog and it is larger than regular than it is most probably a revenue.
Scott does not list Japanese revenues so there is no Scott number for this stamp.

Thanks for the info Mitch and the link Mack.

Anyone know if there is a Specialty Catalog that would show these? I think I have a handful of similar stamps in different denominations I'd like to look up, if so.

Cheers, Dave.

Silence in the face of adversity is the father of complicity and collusion, the first cousins of conspiracy..

I have a Japanese Revenue Stamp Catalog. I'd have to dig it out, but it is handy at times.
