Scott 182----bi colored print
The scan shows the 200 K stamp with a sharp brown top and right margin with olive comprising the remainder of the stamp. The gum is uniform.
Any ideas? Could this a changling where the stamp was partially exposed to ? light and the brown changed to olive. Were the olive shades originally
brown? Hard to imagine this was a printing error with two colors simultaneously applied.
Your thoughts???????

Chemically changed color.
Lower a stamp in acetone, color will change on olive, glue remains untouched.

Color change
No change in color with previous suggestion. Any other ideas?

Looks like it is simply faded, but the fade pattern is a little odd.

Fade pattern
We agree the fade pattern is very sharply demarcated both horizontally and vertically with the two at a 90 degree angle. Had wondered if it was
covered with a piece of paper or something that chemically reacted with ink under the covered area like acidic paper or mount to change the brown to
olive. Whatever it was it would be a great way to create olive shades!.
