Friends: I have a US RB35 or RB48 proprietary stamp (I haven’t checked the watermark to know which it is). It has a black overprint which I cannot completely read, but it appears to say:  Richard Hud’m??? December 191? Do any of you know of this stamp? And why would a person or company put their name on a stamp like that? Micah |

just clutching at straws, but .................... there was a British army gunner by the name of Richard A. Hudman who it appears died in the 1914 - 18 conflict - I really have no idea as to this type of stamp, but bearing in mind this one says 'international', then just possibly some connection. IMHO I think the full year date is 1915. Not being a States collector in any remotely serious way, are you able to say what such issues are all about, thanks?

another guess- early stamps often have a signature and a date- whether the issuer, recipient I am not sure, but this could be perhaps the clerk/official who affixed this to whatever documnet it was placed on.
I have always lked the early US revies stamps and have quite a few, though I do not really collect them.

I believe the overprint is "Richard // Hudnut".
