Hi James,  You have acquired a cut-to-shape stamp from the printed matter wrapper issued by the postal service in 1890.  It was printed by Waterlow and Sons of London.  The circular numeral 2 cancel from Guatemala City is contemporary to that particular wrapper, so it was probably postally used.  Cheers, David
