@Vim as much as I want to believe this, I do not find that shape convincing as 歳– dROOOzeSep 12, 2019 at 12:54

歳 make perfect sense in this context.. The top is clearly 山, lower left stroke of 示 cross over with the lower left stroke of 厂. It is 歳 no doubt. If you say it is 籤 , first it make no sense, second, it missed the bottom stroke– Tang Ho ♦Sep 12, 2019 at 16:00

@TangHo I’m not sure that I agree with any of that comment. The top doesn’t look like 山 at all, the bottom left is super wonky (歲 has a very clean bottom left edge). As for 籖 not making sense, maybe or maybe not.– dROOOzeSep 12, 2019 at 18:37
