Sorry all,

I found a bunch of stamps in an old file and have been playing around with valuing them. So far what I found is pretty common stuff, but I have the two attached stamps shown in the picture, front and back. I've never seen this before and I don't know anything about stamp collecting (yet).

I'm not quite sure what you have. Are you saying that the top pair of stamps (the 6 cents pair), when flipped over yields the bottom picture? Did you check to see if two different pairs of stamps are stuck together? (The bottom perforations do not match, hence my query.)

If the pictures are shown are front and back , looks like part of booklet pane 454b has been folded together and adhered to each other.

If the top of the orange 6 cent stamps is folded at the bottom of the label and the 1 cent stamp. Then it is definitely from the booklet pane.

Trodent.

Both pairs are from booklet panes. The tipoff is the large straight edges. It also works for the US, but not all countries have booklets made this way.

The 1c with the slogan is a collectible position though many prefer complete booklet panes. The slogan fills a blank spot that allows the booklet value to come out to be an even number. It also fills a spot where otherwise it might be used to forge a stamp or get used accidentally.

Will try to dig up the booklet panes in question.

EDIT: Trodent got it, both are from the same booklet pane:

Back printing:
Is this in reverse? If so, it has just been transferred from something else. That's most evident with stamps with PVA gum that can be bright white and matte/dead flat on the back to appear like ungummed paper.
