It wasn't bloody easy taking those pics ! but all I can say is those pics don't do it justice .. it looks more like it in real life by the naked eye … I look forward to hear from you all on what's your feedback Oops one sec I forgot to add a pic of the back side of my stamp   |

Roni, I believe your pictures would be much clearer if you'd use black paper, not with all those wiggly lines ? And if you need a perforation gauge you can print one from Stampsmarter, www.stampsmarter.org . Peter |

There is a quarter of a millimeter difference in the width of a 632 (I think that's your template) and a 594. To find that you need to line it up left to right quite exactly. From the picture I'd say it does not look any different in width and so is a 552. (Top and side perfs are the same - perf 11 apparently.) |

In my opinion the quarter mill can never be detected if the camera was not aimed separately straight top view vertically looking down individually at each side.. otherwise it's mission impossible it's how I see it …
Cheers all and Thanks Roni |

2bOrNot2b - It may just be my eyes or your picture/scan but the 1c stamp you used as a template (with the Baraboo Wis. overprint) appears to have been a double transfer variety.

Rather than comparing your 594 candidate to a 632, why not instead compare it to a known 552 (flat plate sheet stamp) and/or 597 (rotary coil)? The 552 & 597 are both extremely common stamps. If it is a 594 it will be the same size in both dimensions as the 597 but noticably wider than the 552. If it passes both of these tests, have it expertized. Added: Incidentally, the idea of comparing a possible 594 with a 552 & a 597 arises from an excellent Linn's article, a link to which was provided by someone in another "is-this-a-594" thread. Added: Took a little searching, but I located the link ... thanks to patg23 for the original link. Copying the link seems to be beyond my current expertise. See the fairly recent thread with Valuation Conundrum in the title. |
