Are there really 2 versions of this stamp, or was someone bored and pseudo-creative and colored it?

To tell you the truth...Looks like some grandfather gave it to his grandchild to colour...Just my opinion.

Tanning cream!

Looks like it had a brown paper or glue on backside. When soaked---bleed through? That left stamp is toned all over.

I assume you are all saying that it's not real (English is my third language, so I miss the subtleties of the replies).

Yes, a stain and not a variety, we are having a bit of fun with it. It's nothing personal.

In my opinion it appears to be toning and/or staining. But I like it!

For general info, the stain is not seen from the back at all (that's why I wondered if it's real) so it wasn't a greasy hamburger. Maybe a vegburger?

Robert, English is my first and only language. You have to translate that line for me.
