Hi there,

Can anyone shed some light on this? They are real small (0.55") and seem to have the same design as the Prexie 3c. At the top-right corner, instead of "UNITED STATES POSTAGE", it has "CHILDREN'S PLAYTIME POSTAGE", and instead of Thomas Jefferson, we have a young boy.

These items are from a Lets Play Mailman game from the 1950s. Games of this type were popular in many Countries.

Those Kinderpost Germanias are sweet. I want some!

It turns out that they also made postal cards: http://www.ganzsachenphilatelie.de/...es_reich.htm

It took four months, but I scored some Kinderpost Germanias on eBay. The design differs somewhat from that of the stamps that vayolene posted (see the "Kinderpost" at the bottom, for example), and Germania looks more like she does on the real stamps.

To give a better idea of the size, here's the postcard with a real one behind it:

They're postage stamps, aren't they?

I don't remember where or when I acquired the sheet, I'm sure at a show. I don't collect Marshall Islands, I had them in one of my Cinderella albums. Thanks for the information.
