Serpentine Perf Guage ?

Does such a critter exist ? I have quite a few for
standard perfs, but with the new serpentine die cutting,
I am assuming that a clear thin piece of plastic is
what the current modern US crapstickies need ??
Gawds in heavens, these Berry stamps are killing me.

Hi Phil, and welcome to SCF!

I've been using a Stanley Gibbons Instanta Perforation Gauge for these and my British Empire stamps. It's a clear guage, and it works great.

NOTE: The copyright ran out on the Instanta Guage, so order a similar one from Unitrade Associates in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (www.unitradeassoc.com) Look at the guage on the Stanley Gibbons website, then look at the perf guages on UA website and order accordingly.

I've compared both, one upon the other andd the "copy" is exactly the same as the original.

Thank you David,
I will check out both items.
Nice to have such a quick assist after a few
hours wasted on google.
Thank you again.

Copied from the below link:

Various transparent perforation gauges on the market offer a range from 10 up to 18 (Instanta) or 8 to 16 (Linn’s Multi-Gauge). Unfortunately, the modern-day self-adhesive stamps have gauges ranging from 6 to 9, which fall below the Instanta gauge. The gauge I came up with, ranges from 5.3 up to 10.

Puzzler Note: It is not on stiff plastic but on flexible thinner plastic. It is nice and works (I have one). I also have a Unitrade one mentioned by David, it goes from 10 - 18. Nice but for the Canada Flower and Olympic coils it doesn't work. I am not sure if the US stamps are low perfs like the Canada ones have.

Thanks for the info David and Puzzler and for bringing it up towards 2112. I was just thinking that I needed something similar myself
