Looks like a perf 11 552 to me. On the perf gauge, match tips to tips and valleys to valleys.

Bobone, the top gauge would be the best in my opinion. All you need to do is turn the gauge around! That way the perforations fit correctly over the stamp.

Your pictures make it look like the size is 19¼ x 22. Neither 594 or 596 has that size of design. 594 is wider and 596 is taller.

My pictures aren't the best. but if you see 19 1/4 X 22 maybe you can see 19.25 X 22.5 isn't that 596 ? the other would be 552 18.5-19 X 22

bobone, you are misreading the measure of the height. The smallest gradations in the top row are at 0.25mm and 0.75mm, thus the height is just a wee bit shy of 22.25mm, not 22.5mm

I see that .. but I may not be lined up perfectly. Tried to hold and take pic same time.. It was between the 22.25 & 22 so I'm thinking 22.5

The 22.5 line is way off to the right of the design and overlapping the arc of the perforations.
And 22.5 is not between 22 and 22.25, so I have no idea what your last post means.
