I´ve searched for this stamp in my catalog but didnt find nothing. From what I´ve heard and read this is possibly a cinderala or fantasy stamp, from albania, during the exile goverment time. I would like to hear your opinions. Thanks for the attention, and I hope I could bring some interesting topic here to the forum. Interesting fact: in has a double seal "In Memoriam J.F.Kenedy 1917-1963". Stamp!  Macro picture!

The stamp indicates "air mail" so I'd say that rules out a label or cinderella. |

You can find more information about the basic set of this cinderella issue in another topic on this subject. Just search for "Albania 1952" and you will see the topic entitled "ID Help - Albania Semi Postal Airmails... Not it"
Then I imagine the overprint was applied to memorialize Kennedy in 1963. |

If the stamp reads "AIRMAIL", why can't it be still a Cinderella? My impression of a Cinderella is a stamp that can be either for regular postage or airmail but a produced label that was not sanctioned by any recognized official governing body??
To me personally, this is still a Cinderella.

Can it be considered an error the having twice the overprint of "In Memoriam J.F.Kenedy 1917-1963"?
And how much can it worth? |

Used to find these in school boy packets, '100 stamps for 1/-' sort of thing. The double overprint is interesting but still fairly worthless.

This stamp turn to be special because is not very common, it own story behind it (Cinderella) and the fact more interesting is that cool error (overprinted twice). |

What they are asking for these stamps is one thing. What they are getting is quite another thing. |
