The one on the right looks dirtier. But also check using a loupe or magnifying glass the outer border. There are two dies to this stamp. Die I has a frame of four thin lines. Die II has a frame of a thick line between two thin lines.
Hello jamesw..Thanks again for helping me out...came across these two while going through boxes of stamps.Seems these two are slightly different in size...so many to look through..sort out.lots of fun.
Sometimes the size variations can be caused by printings being made on either 'wet' or 'dry' paper. If the paper is wet, then they will shrink in the drying process. If the paper is dry at the time of printing, then they will remain the same size.
