Counter stamp help

I came across this the other day and can't seem to find any information via the Bruck book or google I did find the Host 1853 perpetual calender issued by HW Sabin but nothing on the C.J. Mason. Can anyone help with identification and/or value? I've never run across one of these before. Thanks in advance for any input.

I'm clueless, here. Is the counterstamp really retrograde or backwards like that? It's hard to figure out the first photo.

<< <i>It's backwards but when you use it reads right lol it's not counterstamped, it's the actual stamp ( I think ) >>
Aha. I see what you mean now. I can read backwards but couldn't figure out why a counterstamp would be like that. If that's the actual stamp itself and the letters are raised, then I guess it makes sense.

I found a J.C. mason listed but no C. J. Mason

First, get the name spelled correctly: Brunk. That will help with searches.
You could try Rich Hartzog, I guess, but by all means, shop around some more. That just happens to be the first hit I got.
yeah, I did know how to spell it.
