Identifying 1c Franklin's From 1920's

hi I found these 3 stamps and I would like some help identifying them Thanks , iv worked out that they are 1c Franklin Stamps from around 1922 maybe, but thats about it Over the stamps is a Red Cross Roll Call Join sign. and on the left it says Columbus Ohio nov 30 1937. Iv read a little bit about the stamps and know there is alot of different Grades, so can anyone help me identify the Grade of these , Thanks

Scott #552 is my best guess but it depends on the perforations and watermark. Scott value is about the same anyway -.20¢

if perf 11 and no watermark (and yours is on cover so almost impossible to tell without having it "lifted") then 552; if perf 11 X 10.5 then #632...this site will help you immensely. Good luck and happy stamping!

Hi -- A stamp looking like yours was issued in 1922, 1923, 1926. Each time, it had different numbers of perforations around the edge. Yours has too many perfs to be from 1923, and I am not experienced enough to distinguish the 1922 from the 1926 by sight online because their perfs are more similar.

Unfortunately, your date of 1937 doesn't rule anything out. Also, just so you know, all three types are very common and have minimal value -- the postmark might be of more interest to some collectors, though.

These are almost assuredly SC 632's from the color, perfs, and date used.

I see where the last version was begun in 1926, but when did it end production?
The Prexies didn't take over until 1938 (to 1954), so this was probably still in production in 37.
Correct?

Over the years I have figured out perfs from photos. Not perfect but a rule of thumb so close that it highly accurate in most cases. It has 11 horizontal and 12 vertical perfs that do not extend beyond the design so I concur with chasa. It is a 632.

I believe 1934 was the last production year for that design.

Look at the perforations chasa. Doesn't look to be a compound perf (11 x 10.5) that's why I hazarded a guess of #552.

I envy those of you who are able to "eyeball" the perfs!

I couldn't ID one of these with confidence without http://www.1847usa.com. Technology is amazing.

I'll post this link again as it is a great desktop tool, especially for US Washington / Franklin series.

Hi Stallzer, A few of the pic's here are in px format. How does one find the dpi info. It requests using the dpi of the picture, while using that software you linked us to.. Keith

The DPI is what you scanned the Stamps at. I always scan single stamps as JPEG's at 1200 DPI. Not sure what PX format is.
