I finally tried to see if my ore stamps ( I have 3), had watermarks. It was very hard for me, but till this morning I think I see some lettering. Though, its not what I thought in that their sideways. I thought I saw some letters on the 15 ore, but I am in doubt more than sure. So, I am going to only show the Ore 20. Thanks so much Treina JA

In my experience, it has always been easier to see watermarks when the stamp is placed face down on a black surface and wetted with a watermark fluid. I see the cancel thru your stamp.

About watermark fluids.. I only know of Clarity, a specific watermarking fluid, or lighter fluid ( yes, lighter fluid) such as Ronsonal or Zippo. Will not harm mint stamps.
