Need Help: 1c Washington, Odd Perforation And Other

I just dug out an old postcard that is postmarked July 6, 1924 from Times Sq. Station, NY. The 1c Washington stamp seems to be unique in that the left and top are perforated, but the bottom and right are not. The size measures approx. 10mm x 21 1/2mm.

This is the stamp that has the number 1 rather then the spelled out version and was being sent to a Mayor in TX. I have not been able to find a picture or description of any stamps perforated in this manner.

I tried to attach a picture, but can't get PhotoBucket to work. Please email if you think you can help.

Hello cfjohnsn....

Welcome to the club.....

The stamp is most likely a booklet corner.

How do I find out if it has any value?

It is a very common booklet stamp. I think it may be Scott Number 462a and is worth about 10 cents. A booklet stamp would have one or two sides with out perforations.

There were around 2.5 billion 1 cent booklet stamps issued.

The post card would add a little more value. I would think without seeing the post card you might be looking around a dollar.
