Hi guys..I must admit I am getting a little (just a little) better with identifying American stamps, but unless I am blind, I cant identify this stamp..All the other stamps like this has perforations of 11x11, but this one is 12x12..?
It is not in the best shape I know...Help please.

Robert

The only perf 12 listed for this design is #406(Feb1912) in the Scott catalog. I did not confirm the type, since it is the only perf 12 listed that I know of.

Notice how I deftly ignored all other possibilities and just focused on the perf 12? I haven't touched my early US collection/accumulation in almost 10 years -- but the damage to my eyes and sanity is already permanent...

Thank you for clearing this up! For some unknown reason I have been unable to bring myself to wade through three old albums with Washingtons and Franklins that need sorting out. All along I thought it was just some deficiency within myself. I had no idea until now that the Washington/Franklin Definitives enter one into the Twilight Zone!

Yeah, it's the 3rd stop on the right once you enter.
