I'm still classifying it, I don't know the exact year and model, but I'm sure it's before 1957...

It will take me time...even with such good and detailed information, the topic is complex even with the characteristic of not being perforated which makes it much easier to narrow down the search. In principle I'm leaning towards: if it were Flat plate it would be a Type I, if it were Offshet it could be a type VI...I'll post a better photo in case someone can help me.

You are doing great. Note the red ink on the back of the stamp, then take a look at this page about how to ID a flat plate vs Offset stamps...

It is definitely an SC#482, too many details give it away, but it has helped me a lot...because I have more 2 cent stamps from Washington, and among others without perforations, I found this one that I show below, I know it is a dream hahaha but maybe not...This other stamp has some characteristics that indicate to me that it could be an SC482a, firstly because it does not correspond to types II and III, secondly because between types I and IA, I have found noticeable differences, the clear toga rope and button that correspond to IA, the wide and downward-turned mouth at the end and finally the white spot under IA's less clear ear. What do you think about it? I notice a lot of difference when I have the opportunity to have two copies in person to compare them.
