Hi all
I know it's possible to find these stamps with quatrefoil watermarks
But this stamp has me confused
Lozenges and quatrefoils together? - or my imagination?
Probably nothing- but worth asking.
Thanks

Opinion:
Lozenges only

Perhaps try a little watermark fluid in a plastic lunch bag
(if you want to image)
You can see your Wmks a lot clearer

Best to soak in cold water (if needed) to remove the hinge and residue for a proper look. All I see are lozenges, too. The watermark designs don't exist together on the same sheet.

Soak in cold water?
Haven't done this before!
Will this damage the stamp? How long in cold water?

Face up in cold water 10 minutes should be fine, or until the fragment releases.

Water will show your watermark well

Perhaps, if you have a artist's brush, dab a little water on the fragment, and wait
(I always feel a bit queasy soaking anything with magenta)
