All appear to have 13x13 perferations.
From an album I'm combining into mine. Are these correctly marked?

No, pencil marks not mine

166 is a 90 cent Perry, so there's no 166's
there... I assume you typo'd 156...

156 is white wove paper, whereas the 182
is soft porous paper. If you know how to
identify (either), then you can easily
draw an accurate conclusion on your own...

Your images are too small as you've posted...
the best thing would be individual 1200dpi
scans of each (vertically), which would help
potential participants here help you...

P.S. I strongly recommend using
multiple perf tools from different
manufacturers, as your 13x13 is
highly unlikely on both...

Using an iPad, I'm only allowed a 600x600
How else can I go it
Re gauge... I'm not the best at measuring yet... That was the other part of the question

You'll need a flatbed scanner (or combo
printer/scanner) connected to a standard
computer to achieve good scans. With the
software included with them, you'll be
able to manipulate your images into a
more workable format...

600dpi is fair but your images are still
too small to see any detail. If all you
have is the iPad, then take individual
images of each, and post them vertically
and separately... and (for now) disregard
the 13x13 notations... they're likely
innacurate...

Left stamp is soft paper. Notice the "mottled" pattern. Right stamp is hard paper.
