Have have a dozen of these stamps and they are all brown except one which is green tone. Can anyone tell me why.. The scan didn't show up as green as the stamp is but it seems to be the same shade of green over the whole stamp.

thanks for any help I get.

What you have is a chemical changeling.

I second that. Light or chemical exposure (sometimes atmospheric chemicals), or both.
