Thanks for posting this one and noting the date. I’ve seen it 2-3 times since it’s not far from where I live, and had read it as 1909 but the lighting wasn’t as good as in your photo and I can see now that it’s pretty clearly 1930. I was thinking it was earlier since I’ve never seen other F.E. Neslon stamps later than the very early 1920s and didn’t realize they continued into the early 1930s, but I see from your photos that they do. I should have known it wasn’t 1909 in any case since this stamp doesn’t include the small circle with two horizontal lines at the bottom that earlier F.E. Nelson stamps had but that were not present in his stamps starting in the early 1920s.
