When looking for these things I usually try and picture what I'd like to see and it helps to visualize if there is something there. Your example was easier with that big O in the middle to think about the whole word Bothwell and then see the pcs of the B and T even though they are mirrored. Same with looking for stitch watermarks-- Almost have to have it in your head before looking since they an be so hard to capture - Of course when a cancel shows through it can mess you up as well.

Very informative thread ! Ok, I see what you mean from my previous post. The Bothwell one would be stamp number 2 ? I'll take a closer look.
