552 (flat plate sheet stamp with straight edge) or 552a (flat plate booklet stamp). It depends on whether the stamp has a wove paper vertical grain (sheet) or wove paper horizontal grain (booklet) that can be seen on its back. |

Looks like a horizontal grain in the paper to me. Thus, 552a booklet stamp. |

jogil,
Can you point out where you see horizontal grains? I think I see one at the ninth perforation on the left.??
Thanks,
Jack Kelley |

jogil,
Yes, I see it clearly now. Looks a lot harder to spot on the 552a above! Thanks for your help.

jkelley01938: It is harder to see the paper on this 552a booklet stamp because of the gum remnant left on its back. |

jogil,
Uh oh Does that mean your example is gumless? If so, can you see the dots (lines) on gummed stamps like the 552a with a bright light?

Yes it is gumless and you can see ones with gum if you place a light to shine through the front to see the back. |
