In the course of a search for faint new non-stellar objects in the Northern Galactic Plane, two neighbouring planetary nebula (PNe) candidates have been detected on film copies of the POSS II. Whereas the morphology of the smaller of the two objects (v = 15 arcsec) is typical for PNe, the nature of the larger one (34 x 18 arcsec^2) defied an even provisional classification, on its photographic appearance alone. Optical spectra, however, allowed both sources, which are separated by 20 arcmin only, to be classified as highly obscured PNe. Both nebulae obviously are rather old, i.e. they are evolved representatives of their kind.
