Didn't even realize this was a perfin till it hit the right light. Looks to be miss "perfined" if such a term exist. If someone could ID the stamp and use of the perfin I would greatly appreiate. Sooner or later I'll get a US Catalog.   |

US/MC, the United Shoe Machinery Company, pattern 82-1, rarity factor E. The perfin exists from a number of different office locations, each one differing in the location of a single perfin hole. It's most likely that yours is an example of one without the control hole, making it the office in Boston, MA.

 What does rarity factor E mean? What is the rarity factor scale? Thanks! |

Here are some examples of what the full USMC (United Shoe) perfins should look like:  Note the difference in example #1 having two dots in the center; the others only one. Perhaps Ryan can identify which one is which is terms of location of use. |
