Another useful accessory is the
perforation gauge which costs 20c. |
This is made of cardboard and is I
marked off at one end with a mil­
limetre scale. In the centre is a
scale of raised dots running from
7 dots to lo'h dots per two centi­
metres. To determine the perfora­
tion of a stamp, lay the stamp over
the gauge and the holes or perforations matched with a set of dots on
the gauge.
A less important accessory is
the watermark detector. This is
a black tray in which a stamp may
be placed face down and a drop
of refined benzine or carbon tetra­
chloride poured on it. The water­
mark in the paper may then be
seen against the dark background.
Stamp catalogues have a list of
printed designs illustrating all the
various watermarks.
