hello to all

i just want an opinion about this stamp.[ the one on the left]
i know it was be wishing upon a star but it seems to be dark brown to me.
i have checked it to other site photos and it appears to be dark brown.

The two pretty much look the same in the photo. There seems to be a slight difference but I would venture it is just a color variation of the right stamp. I once saw a photo of the two colors side by side and the color difference was unmistakable.

Go to www.theswedishtiger.com to see color images of both stamps. Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, the slightly lighter brown stamp is actually the more valuable 518b.

in my humble opinion
I think they are both 518
one is Violet black (Left)
the other is Violet brown(Right)
One good rule of thumb on this stamp And other (Canada 16 vs 17)
"If it looks black then it is either black or black brown.

Dan, To avoid and clear up any possible ambiguity, I am referring to the two stamps on the swedish tiger site rather than your your two stamps. Both of yours appear to be a dark blackish or violet brown color as David mentioned.
