I was going through covers looking for my Columbus stationary to post in another topic when this jumped out at me. A funny looking red faced Washington??
Well you got me there! I must admit that I have never seen anything like it before and I have literally sorted through thousands of those! Could be a red cork that bled or a real wet print? Neat though.
Someone dripped kool-aid on it. Seriously, the color is slightly different than the stamp ink, and as stampcrow observed, there is some color in the oval to the left also. The stain also goes into the hair a bit, but doesn't reach the bottom of the chin.
