Dual-Sided & Perfed US Customs Form W Serial No.not Found Online Or In US Scott Specialized

This perforated "form" seems like it was intended to be torn off for one copy to be kept, presumably by U.S. Customs. The other half, who knows? Maybe given to a claimant on seized property or mail? Kept in a separate log book? Inquiring minds would love to know....
====================================================================

I thought the font used for the serial numbers looked pseudo-futuristic.

Guessing this might be from the 1940's or 1950's. What do you think?????
====================================================================
I couldn't find ANY reference online nor in Scott's U.S. Specialized catalogue.

StampCommunityForum always seems to have the answers, thanks in advance!

The best article / catalog for these customs stamps was done by Hermann Ivester.

It can be found here:

James Drummond,

A response within five minutes!!

INCREDIBLE, and thank you so much for the link. The education continues....

You beat me too it. :-)

This is what the 1939 labels looked like, according to the link above.

Interesting that there were at least two colors: white (mine) and red (pictured above).
