These 2 stamps were on a blank page by themselves in an album I just bought on ebay. The one one the left seems to measure the right size but has no perfs. I've never actually had a proof so I have no idea if this is one or just real wide margin trim job. There is some gum on the back.

thanks

I believe that they are trimmed copies and neither proofs or coils. I don't believe that their were coil stamps in use at time of usage for this particular stamp. It's a shame that someone took a decent stamp with monster margins and took the shears to it!

Scissor cuts. Long before coil stamps were introduced.
