Hey Penny. This looks like either an S380-27 or S385-27 Channel Balance. The only difference between these two balances is the depth of the bottom nylon shoe, or the measurement from 'heel' to 'toe'. See the illustration below for reference. Compare both balances with your old one to see what matches best. In either case, for a stamp option choose 2640. Let me know if you have further questions.
