Welcome.
You can learn more abut your stamps here https://stampsmarter.org/1847usa/19...ntifier.html
Start with the assumption that you have the most common variety (which is the case in the over whelming majority of the time).

To ID ;
Start with gauging the perforations. If you do not have a perf gauge, you can download a temporary one here https://stampsmarter.org/learning/F...rfGauge.html

There is also 'How To' pages here https://stampsmarter.org/learning/Home_HowTo.html

Don
Please ignore my ignorance
I have no idea how you have determined this.
I have spent several days trying to work it out.
Can you show me?
I'm keen to understand.
Thx

No. Except that the stamp isn't lined up to match the gauge in either image.

Slide the gauge up or down until the lines perfectly match either the peaks or the valleys of the stamp perforations. You will find the top/bottom perforations are very close to 11 and the sides are very close to 10.5
