Just came across these Mexican stamps from the early 1900s and can't seem to find them in my Classic Scott Catalog. Can anyone point me in the right direction for an ID?

Thanks!

All Renta Interior revenue stamps with talons (the bottom part) attached . Listed in the MEPSI revenue catalogue as R0190, R0214 & R0250 - all minimal value.

Mexico official overprints can certainly be confusing to distinguish!

What you have is O181a with overprint reading down. Here's O181, same stamp with overprint reading up.

Thank you. I guess I had a misunderstanding of the Scott Catalog. As the group O177-O184 have no color called out for the overprint, I thought the previous major heading called for (Red, O172-O176) carries down. That would be red and mine is black - so I thought, what the heck?!?

Yep - certainly would be clearer if they made it explicit I agree. If no colour is explicitly stated for an overprint for a set, it is black.
