Can Someone Help ID These 3 Cent Grills ?

Hi folks. I would like to ask for some help in giving me a scott # for these 2 grills. To my eyes, the grills look different, but I could write what I know about grills on the tip of my little finger.

I tried to get some contrast with retro, but not sure if it helps any?

Many thanks for any help.

You need to have the grill show up better. You'll find this in many different places on this board, but scribble very dark with a soft pencil on a sheet of paper, then rub your finger on the carbon, and then rub your finger on the grill.

It's very safe, and with a soft eraser you can always carefully erase the grill.

From the top of the stamp down count the columns.
If you have less than 14, it's an F Grill, and I think they all may be due to the shade.

If it's exactly 14, it's an E Grill.

No way can it be anything other than that. The experimental grills are wider still, and the stamps only were printed in the dull rose color. Yours have a lot of red in them (F grill, #94, is a red stamp, but also is available in several brown and orange shades).

The stamp on the right may be difficult to count the columns, since it is so off-centered, so if you can't see them all, by default it would have to be the less valuable F Grill.

Hope this helps. Good Luck!
