Stamp Perforator : Who sought to purchase one please?

How much?

What are we talking about here - a real stamp perforating machine ? What era? Where will it be shipped from?

I thought that we were talking about a machine to make perfs not perfins. There is a site that describes how to make stamp perforations using a sewing machine - maybe you could adapt that concept by welding or brazing a number of 'needles' in some sort of configuration.

Second question...why would you want to?

lol

If rod222 was referring to my post...what I looked around for was a company producing custom perforators, for the purpose of making perfins. I was not looking for a device that would perforate sheets of stamps.

Why? To create some discussion about stamps. To make people look twice at envelopes from my company. Because I can. (In theory, I can...turns out to be harder to implement, in practice).

Employees have always been free to steal postage, in moderation, so it is not intended to be performing its true function as theft prevention. Guess that makes it 'philatelic.'

I don't often use older discount postage as postage any longer. They are worthless before affixing them to an envelope, and worth even less after getting a spray-on cancel fifty years out of date.

I try to use current issues, even though I end up paying face value for them. A perfin seems like it would add a little visual interest.

Thanks for expanding, cjd. I wasn't sure whom was looking.
and I wasn't sure if it was a sheet or perfin puncture the colleague sought.
All sorted. Cheers.

Our Western Australian Philatelic Soc, have their own Perfin puncture, outline of a Black Swan.
I have on cover, but punctures are not visible in scan.
