I am trying to fill out my collection of official seals (Scott OX??). There are several that I have never been able to find, have found no auction records for, etc. - they are in the Scott catalogue, but do these really exist? For example, OX25, OX26, OX27, OX32, OX33, OX37, OX50?

Does Kotanchik note their existence in his book? If so they should exist somewhere. His Appendix C (EKU) does give a date for OX 27, OX 33 and OX 50. He states that there are no covers recorded for OX 25, OX 26, OX 32 and OX 37. I am not a OX specialist so this is the best that I can do.

I have posted it before, what I believe to be an OX37. The Scott specialized does say OX34 - OX38 are sometimes roughly perforated. It's ugly, but it seems to fit their perforations.

Yes, Jim K. carefully measured the perforations, and the varieties that you mentioned definitely exist. He had most of them in his collection.

As far as I know, OX50 (the purple variety) is unique on cover, or otherwise. I believe that it was found by Jim Kloetzel, on a cover addressed to him. Jim was the former editor of the Scott catalog.
