The J. R. Pember Cancel? Handstamp? Machine Stamp? What is it?

So the stamp above showed up in a Kelleher auction this week and sold for $325.  The riddle of the J. R. Pember device grows, since there is no practical known use for a county clerk needing tax stamps and none of these cancels, heretofore known to me only on the one cent battleship, have any other stray marks like a manuscript complete date that was required by law.  There is a reason a clerk might have a stamping device for documents serviced in his office, and the clerk might have used a device similar to the one used by the Elgin National Watch Co to cancel stamps on documents, that produced a similar, clean, metal-type appearance.  It is also possible that a clerk might be a stamp collector, and might cancel a stamp with that device.  What else makes sense here? Ideas?

An Update for Frank Sente's R163 Exhibit: The US 1898 Battleship Workhorse

In 2011, I first published Frank Sente's R163 exhibit.  That version of his exhibit has been the one posted to this site for 14 years.  Below is the latest version, most recently shown at this year's NAPEX.  Special additions include an R163 bisected in the Indian Territory, and an example used to pay the telephone call tax.
