If you collect stamps, you will probably know that some stamps have different perforations that increase the rarity (and value) many fold. You may have tried linear gauges and found them difficult to use in some circumstances (e.g. when the stamp is near the crease of an album) or struggled to keep the gauge aligned whilst moving it over the stamp. You may have found that electronic gauges, though accurate are quite fiddly to use, require the stamp removal and then cannot measure all your stamps. This new gauge removes all those problems. It is compact, easy to use, comes with instructions and is packed in a black envelope to provide a dark background, thereby enhancing the contrast. It will fit in your shirt pocket and is very light!
I designed this gauge personally, as I quite like to discover varieties and disliked all the perforation gauges I tried - I have around 8 different ones. I demonstrated it at the York stamp and coin fair and nineteen of the twenty people who saw it bought one.
Whilst I am in the process of selling the concept (patent pending with nine points of uniqueness), I have had a further number made for private sales. These will not last for long, so if you are interested, grab one now! The unit is printed on polycarbonate and does not rub off. The fulcrum is 3D printed and the disc is tight around the fulcrum, but rotates freely.
