Hello fellow stamp collectors,

I did not manage to find any information on these liberty statue stamps. I checked both michel and scott catalogue but no info.

Compared to the original #566 stamp, these ones lack in detail. The middle stamp also has some printing faults in the lower right corner.

Do you have any idea if these are fakes?

Any help would be much appreciated

I am sticking my neck out here on this one. I am not certain, but, they look like what is referred to as 'toy' stamps because of the different sizes??

Toy stamps were reproductions, sometimes crude, of real stamps for children so that they could pretend they were sending real mail.

Just a guess of course.
