Counterstamp fans - here is a 3 cent silver from the Stacks auction

Thought this would be cool in the Dansco 7070 counterstamps:

Edited to add a cut and paste from the auction catalogue:
Medium gray toning. As the logotype impressions are incomplete, the identification of the issuer is uncertain. One possibility is that this is a logotype for the firm of Dresser & Jillson of Worcester, which manufactured animal traps.
From the Stephen L. Tanenbaum Estate.

    The stamp doesn't seem to be listed, hard to tell, sure looks familiar though.

    Counterstamps on trimes are very rare, I am fortunate to own one, yours is probably only the third or fourth one I've ever seen. There can't be more than a couple dozen known.
