Austria: Color On Red 5 Kreuzer?

These, I thought were all the same stamp. The one in the top middle looks like it has been hitting the bleach bottle. Is anyone aware of a variety, or is it just a washed up Austrian.

It`s washed up. I have many such stamps too. It`s an 1890 issue. There were a few stamps with Lacquer-stripes, as a probe (these stripes were intended to stop the reusing of the stamps - the laquer stripes dissolved in water if stamps were washed too long - and the laquer dissolves colour and postmark too less or more). The 1901 issue (same picture, other colours, and denomination Heller instead Kreuzer) has these stripes, and I guess they were experimenting with this technology in 1890 too.

Viewing in glancing (low angle reflection from a point source) light often reveals the presence of the diagonal Lacquer stripes (or residual traces thereof). I thought I didn't have any until I looked closely.

thanks everyone, that erases the problem (little pun there... ahem pun?!@)

Fun with the pun on words!
