Hi rafmal, and sorry not to jump on this immediately. First, you need a bit better picture, and get rid of that ugly paper. Please make it a black background. And also, please let us know what catalog you are using. As for the color being off, they both look sort of bleached, like being in the sun too long?

Quote: sorry not to jump on this immediately. Being first isn't always being best. I find the best bowl of chili is the last from the pot after it has simmered all day. This stamp was among the workhorse stamps of the 1910s and early 1920s, produced in huge numbers including the stresses of wartime printing. It will vary quite a bit in shade in addition to the difference among flat, rotary, and offset printings, and the changes due to a century+ of storage and handing. Bottom line, I would not get too caught up in the minor color differences. You have the perforation rate and the watermark determined, which is a huge way toward a final ID. The perfin is WP/Co, note the top of the "C" under the W, and of course the lower case "o" does not show at all. Attributed to Pyrene Manufacturing Co of New York City. |

Is your original question the title of your post? Not a 359. If so then the answer is negative unless you send to expertise and the reply is positive Regards
Edit for clarity |

Rafmal, PERFINS (PERForated INitials) are Fun, you shall get the hang of them in time.
Sharp eyed John, noticed the top punctures of the "C" I missed and identified the stamp was used by the PYRENE company
(They manufactured Fire extinguishers) |

My dearest Rafmal - Even though scanning potential bluish paper stamps on an orange background is recommended I think in this case you can save some effort. You do not have one or two 359's to add to the Siegel census which contains four examples and one on cover (now in doubt). |
