Hello, today I bought these 2 stamps.
In my Stampmanage program I found them as

Scott 482A and Scott 134.

I think that's too good to be true, it's wishfull dreaming I think.
I hope that someone can and is willing to help me with this, I'm a collector from the Netherlands.

With kind Regards, Aart

The bottom stamp (134?) is in very poor condition. I hope you did not pay more than pennies for it.

I hope you got a certificate for the supposed 432A.

Bottom stamp is Scott 206, the re-engraved American Banknote issue.

It looks like a Scott #409 with Schermack Type III private perforations for use in their vending/affixing machines. Check for a single-line watermark on the back.

It is certainly a type 1 given the weak rope and button. However, I don't understand why we are calling it a 409 (SL watermark). Couldn't it also be a 482 (no watermark)?

Jack, it could be a #482. But to me, the color and print characteristics more closely resemble a #409. If you haven't, read through the post Clark indicated yet. There is some information there from both he and I regarding some characteristics of a 409 vs. a 482
