I've been trying to figure out ways that this could happen..(1) the stamp dispenser was faulty..(2) somebody was running with scissors in their hand again..I found this on paper with no postmark, so I soaked it off the paper..It is a scott# 721 perf 10 vertically..I thought it strange that the proportions are right as far as the design to the right of the perfs matching up to the design on the left side of the stamp..any help would be appreciated..thanks

I put my flat plate plate gauge on it and it was taller and I thought with vertical perfs it was supposed to be wider, I could have my facts backward too Image Not Found

The right edge looks crooked. Looks trimmed to me.

re: an odd scott# 721

This is likely from an improperly adjusted machine dispenser of coils.

re: an odd scott# 721

agreeing with Roy... This could have been a stamp vending machine or stamp affixing machine used for commercial mailings. It would be cool on a commercial cover tied under a period postmark.
