Some things you cannot look for in Scott.
If memory serves me (for me, a dangerous thing to rely on), I believe that was issued by the Croatian government in exile -- not valid for postage.
A set of 6, although I'm guessing that a parallel set of imperforates also exist.
Your example is the flower set. There is a also a set of birds in the same format.
By the way, your example appears to be slightly mis-perforated. There should be a larger bottom margin; your ornaments are not complete.

Thanks again! |

I edited after your last post. In case you missed it, your cinderella is appears to be slightly mis-perforated. |

I found an example online of a single from the bird set.  You can see the complete ornaments at bottom. And yes, I have confirmed it was issued by the Croatian government in exile. Unfortunately, the link to a site showing a collection of those issues is not working. |

That's a nice shadow effect in that pic, Rod! It almost looks like the stamps are suspended in mid-air!  k |

Not my image K,
someone sent it to me years ago, when I found an example of the Croatian cinder.
but I think you can get this effect in most drawing
programs by using "dropped image" shadow.
Although I have not tried it.

You can see from the pics, that the slight mis-perf was probably a serious quality control problem. |

Line perforating triangulars, must have been a tricky job at best, after the first pass, the sheet must have been flexible and extremely fragile. Maluku Selantan cinderellas  |
