Request your help on identifying this stamp. I spent the last 3 hours counting perforations and I'm going batty. Anyway, I hope the photo is clear enough. I used a flash, so the color might be off a bit. Thanks so much!

Quick answer: no, you have a super common stamp. Click on the search and search for "596" and see 100s of threads on this topic.

Try the link below … choose the third option (W/F Rotary Press Rarities).

If you decide not to read the entire article, at least examine the appendix at the end.

Learning why it is not a 596 utilizing Stamp Smarter is excellent. The Sebastopol CA precancel knocks it out right away though.
