Not USA or a stock transfer stamp but it does have 133 holes. Humber & Company of Coventry, England made bicycles and used their badge as a perfin.

By the way, does anyone know the company identified by the above precancel from Sweden?

Back to the number of perfin holes on a revenue stamp, this one has 222 holes (the larger the stamp, the larger the number of perfin holes):





What's interesting is that considering this stamp was perfinned in 1936, the company label still exists today:

OK, I'll concede it is 223 perfin holes; I didn't lie, I simply miscounted.

In any event, we both have way too much time on our hands if we can sit here counting perfin holes on stamps!
