Welcome to the community.
Note how the perfs do not line up exactly with 11.5 in your image as shown below.

It is supposed to be around 11.25 x 10.5 but the above perforation gauge only uses halves instead of quarters and halves.

Thanks for the quick reply. I couldn't find my new\old perf gauge with 1/4 fractions I had to use the vintage gauge my dad gave me from the 40's or 50's. I did re-measure jogil you are correct it's 11.25 x 10.5 Is there any value in this stamp?

As you mentioned, it is a #636. No real value.

You can also use other stamps to check perfs (For example, using a known perf 11 stamp as a comparison template).
