Hi, grab your perforation gauge, watermark fluid and a catalog and see if you can identify the stamp and hope. That background looks familiar, have you posted here before? That stamp # is a rarity, I seriously doubt that is what you have. Is this a joke?

No not at all. I have used my gauge and came to the conclusion it's a 544.

This is the back ! USPS 12. Believe that is the watermark but I haven't confirmed it yet, as I am fresh out of fluid

I apologize if you are legitimate. What are the measurements of the perfs and the stamp design? I probably can't determine what the catalog # is without seeing it in person. Sorry I can't help out more. Good luck. I was posting before you put up the reverse, the notations on it imply that it is perf 12 and watermarked.

11x11 and appears to be 19mm or so across. Difficult to measure top to bottom due to cut off.

Forget measuring, you cannot ID a W/F with a ruler or caliper. Determine perf gauge, determine watermark, determine print method (flat plate, offset, or rotary).
