Good Afternoon,

Hoping I could get someone to identify what I have here. I believe they are control perfins - but I have no experience in that area really. I don't know what their catalog number is or value. Please let me know.

Thanks for looking

They are not control perfins - they are not perfins at all. In the Scott specialized you can find these under "vending and affixinng machine perforations". Yours are all Schermack perforations.

These are not control perfins, they are Schermack private perforations.
Bottom right stamp is offset printing and may be scarce depending on exact type... needs a bigger scan for identification. The other six are fairly common.

They are not control perfins. They are not perfins at all. They are impersonate stamps with Schermack type III slots. The slots were used to locate stamps inside an affixing machine, where a knife separatedvthem from a coil. Worth about ten cents apiece.

Thank you everyone - I was under the impression that the [ cut outs were some sort of control. I know what regular perfins are, just wasn't sure what the [] were.

Here is the bottom right stamp at 600 dpi.

The enlarged stamp appears to be a 534 with minimal value.
