Yea, definitely some sort of stamp. Obviously the spelling of Shangxi is wrong and they meant Shanxi province...Looks like walnut which would be correct for Shanxi. I have seen tons of these around in the past (and sold tons of them to wholesale customers) years back but I cannot remember for the life of me what they were specifically used for. There is no remnants of ink on it, so it likely wasn't used for printing (trust me - the ones used for printing can be cleaned 100 times and they will have color left of them).
