    I collect stamps for a quite few years now and I found this blue stamp unusual it's normally red. I've looked every where found no info. has anyone else seen one. I know it's inked in blue because the lack of red ink anywhere on it. It's also used and lightly canceled. If nothing else it's is interesting.thanks

      If you ever get another of the same exact red stamp, put it in direct sunlight (but don't let it blow away or get wet).
      I only saw two in blue when looking for one. I'm wondering if it faded, as low-quality ink usually turns about that colour blue when it becomes saturated by the sun over a period of time. You see it in cheap art you buy at the store, after a few years in a sunny window.

      Thanks I have a lot of these red stamps. I'm going to experiment on it.
