Seal

The Seal of Oregon on the left was recently replaced by Carrite with the seal on the right. The new one is clearly much higher quality; but they are different seals. Anybody know why there were two, what distinguished them, etc.? (discussion might make more sense at Talk:Seal of Oregon -- I'm putting this question there as well.) -Pete (talk) 00:21, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

• The one I put up (at the right) is from Hubert Howe Bancroft (1888), also the source of the seal up at Washington Territory. The one on the left has a phony baloney modern colorization scheme going and I trust that one as far as I can throw it. Carrite (talk) 00:42, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
