Recently, I've picked up two old imperforate similar stamps in box lots that I have no idea as to date of issue or identification. Image Not Found

If anyone knows the country and Scott Catalogue number, please enlighten me. Thanks!

They look to be from Nepal....and are upside down.

Happy

Both are Scott #10, I believe - 1899 issue.

That stamp is pictured in the illustrated stamp identifier in the back of every Scott catalog. Don't forget to learn to use the catalog as a tool. Like a hammer, once you learn how to use it, you'll be able to nail it.

OK! Next time I have a puzzler, I will look for it first in Scott Cat. identifier. After 65+ years of "stamping," 99% of the time, I know the country.
