I have a stamp where if you flip it over it has the perfin letters SJN

Who was SNJ and from what age range did they use them?

"State of New Jersey". The perfin was used on non-precancel stamps from 1926-76; and on precancels from 1938-89.

Thanks dkabg8, I didn't know they had perfins existed so late. Is there a list of perfins from the early 1980 to mid 1980s?

I have another perfin which is the number 26 inside a circle. Its on a 1940s 3 cent defense stamp. Do you know who that one is?

Thanks again

After going back and rereading the catalog, I think I passed you fake news. The date ranges I gave are the "stamp issue period of the stamps in which the perfin has been found. The EKU and LKU for the non-precancel are 2/17/1935 and 10/25/1939, respectively. For the precancel, they are 1/5/1940 and 3/10/1987, respectively.

My library has no copies and it's not even available (any editions of the book) through the international library loan system. :(

There's no way I can afford a copy. Hopefully I will run into someone with an old copy they wouldn't mind passing along to me.

Thanks again for your help

It is a very niche publication, so I doubt that any library other than a philatelic one would have it. And as it was published this past spring, it may be awhile before there are any "old copies" out there.
