Identify Help .. Scott.544?

Hello everyone. Hope all are enjoying their summer! Recently I purchased a large lot of George Washington 1 cent and 1 cent Benjamin Franklins- 100 plus in a bag. I found this specific stamp expressing 544 written in the back of the stamp.None of these stamps were checked by the antique vendor who sold me the huge lot of stamps.He just wanted to sell all the stamps together for a limited price. On the back of the stamp expresses in pencil noting the number 544. I checked with gauge and it is perforated 11.
Is this what a Scott 544 looks like? Is the previous collector correct whomever wrote this on the back of the stamp? Did I truly find a treasure here?

Hello, and welcome!

This stamp is perforated 10, and not perforated 11, so unfortunately is not Scott 544! Sorry for the bad news.

I can see where blazenstar is coming from..Just measured the perfs on just one of my stamps and it is 11, not 10...Are we missing something..?

Hi Wert - yours IS perf. 11 and blazenstar's is perf. 10. You are not missing anything about the perforation gauge. Your stamp is Scott 498, perf. 11 and blazenstar's is one of the perf. 10 stamps.

This is showing the stamp on a 10 on the gauge..it does not appear to be a 10 if the lines are to match

wert, can you please look at the photo..i like to know if I am doing it correctly. thank you

This is the same stamp on an 11 marking..

So which one do you all believe it could be? I have images of marking on 10 and on an 11 on gauge

Blazenstar, it is hard to tell, but on at least one photo you seem to be using the perf gauge incorrectly. The black circles are supposed to fit inside the tips of the stamp.

lets rule this out..is the first photo a 10 marking? because the main line is not matched correctly. I will try to take another 11 marking by a photo..ty for all your assistance..will post it shortly

blazenstar - seems to me a perf 10.
I hope you don't mind me asking - where are your tongs?

"Tongs? We don't need no stinkin' tongs!"

"Well, that's the end of the show for tonight, ladies and gentlemen. Tongs alot!"

Thank you Petert4522. I was curious about that too! Blazenstar, you have a perf 10 stamp.

hhahaha..i love those thongs...i am going threw all these stamps..trying to differentiate a perf. 10 to perf.11..keeping me busy..hahahaha..

it is tongs! hahahaha

well, now I have to check out the stamps..i am just checking out what the collector who had these stamps before hand..he wrote 544, not me..glad I am double checking them out
