When the Kansas City post office found itself with an over-supply of the 1¢ and 2¢ imperforates (Scott 408-409), they asked for and received approval from authorities in Washington to facilitate separation of the imperforate sheets. Consequently, the sheets were "perforated" using a dress maker's tracing wheel and a straight edge.
