Hello! Here are 2 examples of cinderella stamps ; one from Japan and another from somewhere in the Arabian Peninsula. The Japanese stamp is a very old stamp and he didn't come in the main catalogs ( including SAKURA..! ) ; the other is a stamp with the curiosity of having the image of the Kennedy family..it's , of course , from the 60's.
The first one is not even a cinderella but a "bogus stamp", an invented stamp to deceive people. Cinderellas are not printed to frame anyone, but to commemorate something, to raise money for charity...Or for thr beauty of themselves. Not to get money from people believing that they were getting a JFK topical stamp.
The second is a Japanese 100 Yen revenue stamp. Sorry I can't give more information than that. Perhaps if someone has a Japanese revenues catalogue they might be able to add the details.
The only major catalogue that lists the Mahra material in any detail is Michel Gulf States Catalogue.
Your stamp is No 20A. It was issued 1967 as one of a set depicting scenes from the life of Jack Kennedy. This one depicts one of his children being christened by Cardinal Cushing.
It is catalogued at one fifth of a euro. On a good day with the wind behind you it might be worth a fifth of that!
