I too have found a few candle flames, I have piles of
#219 and found 2 candle flames, HOWEVER I found only 1 #279 candle flame, I'm curious as to it's rarity or value. I think that the #219s are interesting but not tremendously rare or valuable, but the green #279, anybody? (NOTE: the #219 in the image is not a candle flame)

I believe you have already received the answer in another thread on this forum - these are just printing oddities and not particularly valuable like a real error would be. Besides, the quality of the stamp leaves quite a bit to be desired,
