Sorry for the appaling scan... This floated off when I was soaking some older stamps- it had been used as a hinge. Does anybody know anything about it? (Machin to show how smal it really is)

Some sources state these as 'toy' stamps for children.

Different countries have produced them.

I think it's charming. I like the little guy on it. It reminds me of punch from Punch & Judy!

I can't seem to make it any bigger to look at it, but "Punch" was a British humor magazine for well over a century. Every Briton knows the name, and it would be a suitable subject for a kid's "play" stamp.

I remember toy post office sets when I was a child. They had all the stuff you needed to run your own play Post Office. Stamps, not unlike the one shown, postal orders, paper currency notes, cardboard coins, rubber stamp thingy for cancels, envelopes and writing paper, telegram pads and so on. Everything but the grumpy or pleasant counter clerk.
