Still trying to learn this whole stamp collecting thing. Single line watermark, what appears to be Farwell Type A, but the perforations are WAY off. Sorry, scanner sucks, but should be able to get the idea. Fake right?

Wow. After seeing the picture I posted, I answered my own question.

you should have one of these:

it lets you measure the various private perfs and see if they gauge correctly.

The Farwell perfs on each stamps are not horizontally aligned. Meaning that the right side holes do not start at the same place on the stamp as the left side holes. Yours looks ok to me but I am just looking at the Scott Specialized, I have no experience with these.

I have one alub, but for the life of me I can't find it! Frustrated. The basic reference I used was the example in the scott specialized book

Found it! But since it's type A 4 holes of 4 holes it's not the more rare version. Still, half the fun of collecting is figuring out what it is!
