Last question before heading off to work (this stamp stuff is a little addictive) ...

I have two of these and there are so many variations to color and style. They are 12 perf. I don't see secret marks on either. Any ideas?

The upper ornaments on the second stamp may be arabesque (redesign), but I can't quite tell (images are too small for my aging eyes).

Definitely need better images in order to properly identify.

The stamp on the left is unquestionably a #206 redesign of 1881. The stamp on the right is earlier, but it is too small to check for the secret mark or see any tell tale paper characteristics. Need something much bigger.
