I can't seem to find any information on the G O Co perfin. Anyone able to provide identification? I've added front image. Thanks!

Is this a U.S. stamp? Which one? Revenue stamp? Or foreign? Is that a US I see on top of stamp?

If USA, it looks like the scarce Getty Oil [Los Angeles]. It would be helpful to see the front.

Yes, that is indeed the Getty Oil Co, Los Angeles, CA perfin.
At least it resembles the one I have:



It has a "B" rating, and has a usage period of 1965 thru 1972. Nice find!

Thanks PoStat4evR, any idea on determining values for perfins? I don't find any guides which provide values.
I happened to purchase a large lot which contained 100's of perfins and have found a few...including an "A" rated ATF. Co.

Thanks again!
Don

Depending on who you purchase these things from "B"s are generally between $7.50 and $20.00 (some higher, some lower). Perfin pricing in general is all over the place. Some people want more money, some are more reasonable. Congratulations on your "A". There are a lot of patterns on the ATF/Co perfin. Wish you luck.

Thanks again! I have 7 of the Getty Oil. I'll have to research and see if I can find a price guide with details. Happy Collecting!
