Looks like it's perf 10, so no, not #596. Notice how, in your last photo, the perfs don't line up with the dots at 11 on the gauge, along the entire top side? |

The perforations along the side do not align with "11", They are half a perforation off from one end to the other. You will find the top/bottom are perf 11 and the sides are 10.5, thus a Scott 632. |

Nope. Wrong shade and not perf 11 on the sides. I would guess a 632. Forget measuring the design. It is not going to be meaningful. Finally, the cancel does not fit into the pattern of known 596's at all. |

First 596 rush is free. Now you are hooked on stamp collecting. Great fun hobby. |

Believe me I never thought it was. But I have seen how others have thrown stamps up here and got pounded for not doing their work. I promise I did work hard at this. Still trying to figure out how to line up these perfs. Thank you all for your input. I still have roughly 100 to 150 to go through just like it. Thank you for your help. Rick |

Put down the calipers in this case. More research. |

This is one of the stamps which color makes it fairly easy to ID, the yellow-green color was used in 1927, so it is a #632. But even if a hobbyist does not know this, the first step is always to check the perfs. Your stamp is not a 11x11, it is a 11 x 10.5.

Aligning the perforation tips with a rotary press stamp like a 3 cent Presidential is quicker and more effective than matching to a metal perforation gauge. |
