The fact is that it's a stamp from a kids game of the era that's a tiny toy post office with lots of detail. Tiny post office with boxes, tiny letters and stamps, and a tiny canceller that makes the toy town stamp.
So it's just another interesting backstamp that's not related to distribution in any way.
I think they might eventually be convinced to mention backstamps from known collectors, especially the ones with a full name.
The problem with hand stamped stuff is that it's really hard to authenticate. There are few ways to tell is it was done in 1909-11 or a month ago.

Thanks so true. I wish we didn't have to worry about that stuff...
