Hello,
Please help. I can't ID the first stamp on the left. The perf measurements are correct - it's 113/4 x 12. The only perfs I see that it should have are 14 x 14 1/2, 12 1/2, 13 1/2 and imperf (unless I'm missing something.) Thanks!

You want to maybe give us all a catalog reference, so we don't waste our time looking that up, instead of helping you out?

I'll do my best. According to my Scott's, for this 1922-1923 worker stamp I find it could be
#234 p13.5
#234a p14
#234b p12.5

On the site who cannot be named, the variations also list Mi:
#208c p12.5
#205a p13.5

None of these fit and I can't find any other variations. Thanks for your help!

Additionally, the two Mi are line perfs, which I believe my stamp is a line perf.

All Michel has is 208A 14:14.5, 208B imperf, 208C 12.5, 208D 13.5, and 208D variant with left-margin imperf.

From the margins of the stamp, I believe that they were issued imperforate and were perforated in a particular way by some company.

Zagorsky and Zverev make no mention of such a perforation.

Stamp is definitely perf line. The margins seem much larger, as if they are separate issues or perhaps someone did perf an imperf example. The paper heights seem very similar.

I think that it is a single imperf with perfs added rather than it coming from a sheet of imperfs that were perforated.

The margins seem wide, even for an imperf. Did they do a postal stationery with that design that someone might have added the perfs to?
