This is a decent 65 with a nice Baldwinsville, NY '3' cancel. I find what looks like extra perfs, lower left.

On a serious note, how could any perf process create just those few holes?

Is there any evidence that the perfs continued onto another stamp to the left? What does that side look like up close?

Looks like a dual perf to me, you can see partially blind perfs on the right side. I'd guess they first shot didn't cut through well enough so the operator hit it a second time.

Many double perf examples can be found on 3c 1857's that have only partial rows of double perfs. It is apparent that the operator of the perforating machine was able to stop in the middle of the sheet, remove it, and replace it in a better position. On the 1857's, doubled horizontal perforations are much rarer than vertical doubles.

What I can see are, two full perfs a third that's partial and a fourth that might be a blind perf. Nothing else shows.
I pulled this cover out of the group because I liked the cancel. Didn't see the extra perfs until closer inspection.

Revcollector, I always hear Daffy Duck in my head at the mention of Fiddler Crabs.
