Can anybody ID this stamp for me? It is very similar to Scott No. 341, but it seems to be two-colour instead of one.

Thanks in advance for any help.

re: Japan 40 sen ca. 1942

looks like environmental damage, either light or chemical exposure causing the purple to fade to blue. sort of a neat effect, would have been a pretty stamp if it was designed this way.

That's interesting! Here's my copy of the same stamp with similar environmental damage, along with a normal stamp:

I've always assumed that my stamp was a one-off changeling, but now I'm wondering if someone wasn't playing games with their Boy's Chemistry Set (which could be used by girls). I'll admit that when I found it, I thought that it was a bicolored variety, but soon found out that that's not the case.
