This one count my eye. I googled it and its from Hungary but labeled Gyulaj. This is a town in Hungary that's looks like a hunting resort area. Is this a Cinderella or a hunting stamp?  |

I might be wrong, but it looks like a gutter from a sheet or a label from a miniature sheet.
Quite a common practice in Eastern Europe.
But as I said, I might be wrong.

Note it is "Gyulaj" not Gyulac. No denomination, so probably not a hunting stamp. Possibly a wildlife stamp with the date a hunting preserve opened, etc.
==============
I checked, and did not see any related stamp issues around that date. |

Doug, thanks made the correction for future searches.
Londonbus, if it's a gutter, that's very interesting way of printing stamps. Learn something new every day on SCF. |

1966 Hungary set, hunting trophies, 7 values. 80 filler and 1.50 forint values were issued both with or without gutter, 2.50 ft only with gutter. This belonged to the 2.50 ft value. Uncomplete set  |

kuhli,
Excellent find. So Londonbus is correct they are gutter printings. Also just noticed looks like a before and after picture. |

Notice each label has a different date, pretty much unrelated to the date of issue of the stamp(s) -- must have been the date that those trophy (?) animals were shot. |
