Hi,

I started collecting earlier this year and am still gaining experience. So, I appreciate any help I can get on this topic.

I found the stamp in the attached image in an old Majestic Stamp album I found in an antique store.

What has me stumped in trying to identify it is the fact that there are perforations on the right and bottom edges, while the top and left edges are straight-edged (imperforate).

In the Scott Classic Catalog (1840-1940), there is categorization for perforations on four sides, booklet pane of 6, fully imperf., and coils (or if this is a fraudulent stamp).

But, nothing on the type of stamp I have.

Any guidance/help is appreciated.

The top left stamp of a booklet pane would be perforated on top because of the tab. This should be a sheet stamp, the top left stamp from the bottom right pane.

This is correct - the stamp is NOT a booklet stamp.
