I think Anco-Lux is a postcard manufacturer ( German ).
Google search "Anco-Lux postcard" reveals (among others) an e-bay result of a picture postcard where the non picture side has the emblem you show in the postion where the stamp should be affixed.I guess it is intended as a guide as to where you stick the stamp ( duh ! ).
That's what I suspected it to be. Perhaps it slipped thru a busy system and got cancelled and so on. It will now go to its just reward.
Thanks for the confirmation.

Judging from the partial postmark, it looks like someone had already soaked the stamp off the piece of postcard, and then the latter got somehow thrown back into the kiloware box. The offprint (for lack of a better word) on the back tells us that the card had been postmarked at Hamburg Airport (FLughafen), but there is no date to be found.
I wondered about that postmark and removing the stamp would explain it. And the offprint, I don't know how you guys can read a lot of those postmarks but it seems there is always someone who can decipher them! Thanks again for the comments

I found this in a box of world stamps. It is printed on heavy stock like a post card or heavier. Am I correct in thinking it is not postage? I would just chuck it except for what looks like a partial postal cancellation on it. The back side (shiny surface) also has a faint marking.
