Found this in my old stamp collection and need some help. Not sure if I'm measuring this correctly. It comes out to 11 p on both sides, but don't know how to measure length.  |

There are a couple of things we would like for you to do. First of all if you are serious about stamps please get a perforation gauge. That way you can do one of the most important checks yourself.
Secondly, it would help if you used a matte black background. That would not reflect any background light so easily.
And lastly, please include a picture of the back of the stamp!

I have put the gauge to it for the perfs- but there are several sizes that the 11p fall into. Not sure how to measure that much. I will rescan and send front and back. |

It doesn't sound as if you're using the perforation gauge properly. There will only be one point where the lines or circles on the gauge line up exactly with the perforations. |

Perfs 11. 19 3/4 x 22 1/2. How do you measure this? I have about 15 of these stamps. All the other measure to 10p. This one is an 11. |

I am a world collector and haven't messed too much with my US stamps before. Have a bunch from my grandmother - but more have just sat in my collection. |

the back clearly confirms that this is a flat plate printing - 11x11 Scotts# 552 |
