Identify Help .. Scott.544?

Tongs: Love/hate relationship!

Hello guys, Im new here. I read all your comments, also believe a have a 544 scott, Im a computer geek, so just scanned a good know sample of 544, then on another layer match your believe to be the 544 stamp. Match the art perfectly putting yours one on top to the other certified 544 (align just the art the best you can) using the corner as guides. In my case, the perforations match perfectly. I was using a gauge, but couldnt certify 100%. With software Im sure that it does match. As a matter of fact, two of the perforations sides match almost perfect (one lateral and one horizontal).

I made two different scans of both sets, just to make sure, using a well know 544 copy listed on https://www.theswedishtiger.com/544-scotts.html and overlayed to mine. The results are perfect. My procedure is to digitally create 4 marks on each layered picture, match the art perfectly, then you align moving the perforations mantaining the aspect ratio of the match layers. Im a firm believer that if two best sides matches, then the other two sides must match, at least so you can send it to professionals to certify your stamp. Here is my alinged two stamps. It matches perfectly, even have the same perforation shape. I hope this can help you identify your stamps, from already knowed samples. By the way it measures 19mm x 22.5mm

Most interesting part would be to see your stamp as a normal scan here :). (front and back)

Who uses tongs??? I use scissors!!

sorry to say your technology is detrimental to figuring out what stamp you have

Well, if detrimental is your way to welcome new ideas using different techniques to find out which scott I have, then please dont use computers dear. Otherwise, each one can choose a non intrusive method to do the job. My stamp measures 19mm x 22.5mm on the dot.

Here is my stamp for you or someone to double check for me, if you please you can use your ways, I will appreciate it. Best Regars, from Perú, land of the Incas.

Maybe you could post a scan (front and back).

For years, the 1912 design 1 cent perf 10 rotary stamp was listed as 544 in older Scott catalogs. After some reorganization, the number was changed to 543, in part to accommodate the perf 11 rotary press sheet waste stamp which became 544.

I not a fan of writing catalog numbers on the backs of stamps. Aside from collector error, catalog numbers may change. Suppose the owner had used a Minkus catalog. Then what?
