I am wanting to know what scott # this is? I used a perf gauge not sure if I'm using it right though?
The sides are 11 but the bottom is 10 1/2 And looks like double cut?
I am no stamp expert so would love your opinion please?

it's perf 12 - you need to line up the dots better. Someone wrote 332 and that is likely. 332 has a double line watermark. There is another one, #375 which has a single line watermark. You'd have to check that to be sure.

Yes, those perfs look normal. US Stamps of this era were line perforated, not comb perforated.

try to lay it on to your perforation gauge like this for perf 11 and perf 12 and compare which matches better. Which perforation gauge is this? Perhaps it's not accurate.
