Any thoughts on this. I am thinking #37, there is a small guide dot in bottom left. Cork cancel also. Unitrade mentions it should be 12x12 or 11.5x12 or 12.5! no mention of 12.5x12 Perfed 12.5(Top and Bottom) x 12(sides)    Trodent

There are always new perforation variety combinations being found with Small Queen stamps. These usually occur within the perforation 11.5 to 12.5 gauge range. Since 12.5 (x 12.5) is a very rare perforation gauge variety and many have been looking for this, your variety may be one of the first compound perforations of 12.5 (x 12) discovered. Are your gauge 12 sides exactly 12 and/or around 11.9? Congratulations on your new find from around 150 years ago. It's discoveries like this that bring excitement to stamp collecting.

Hi - I am going to be a bit of a contrarian on this. Can you post a picture with the perf gauge in the perforations themselves and not the paper remnants? I think it is possible that the perfs are 12.25 x 12. Even this is a scarcer perf. Is the weave vertical? Chris |

Trodent: Do you have a Kiusalas gauge that you can place the horizontal perforations on K-63-12.5 for further checking? |

Here is an example of a SQ Scott 37 with a perforation of 11.63 x 12.0 as shown in the work that Jogil has produced.   Now here is another SQ stamp that people would classify as a Scott 37. BUT..it has all the indications of a Scott 41 as the pictures below show...But no bottom position dot and no position dot at 3 or 9 o'clock. If this is true {Scott 41} then the perforation shows 12.0 x 12.0 12.0 x 12.25 So if this is indeed a Scott 41 then the perforation on the stamp below is 11.5 x 12.0...Not recognized yet..??    |

Sooner or later one collecting SQ stamps will realize that the Kiusalas gauge does not cover 12.0 and 12.25 |

Trodent: Kiusalas and above SQ chart correspondence
63 = 0.063" = 12.50 (12.50) 64 = 0.064" = 12.30 (12.25) 65 = 0.065" = 12.11 (12.12) [65.5 = 0.0655" = 12.02 (12.00)] (Not on Kiusalas gauge.) 66 = 0.066" = 11.93 (11.94) 67 = 0.067" = 11.75 (11.75) 68 = 0.068" = 11.58 (11.63)

Great scans of your stamp. Any SQ stamp gauging at least 12.5 or more (12.5+) is scarce and the Canada 37d variety has to gauge at least 12.5-63 on all its four sides on the Canada Kiusalas gauge. This stamp appears to do this for its top and bottom horizontal perforations. Interestingly, its right and left vertical perforations are 12-65 making this stamp have compound perforations of 12.5 x 12 which may make it unique so far. Great discovery find on a 150 year old postage stamp.
