New here and hope this is the right forum. I have absolutely no idea what these are and hope someone can help identify them. I purchased these in a lot collection on ebay and came on the stock sheet it's on with no description. It looks like it's a sheet but the last 2 are blank. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.
Hi Saltwter8, and welcome to the forum. Those are called "cinderellas". There are folks that collect those and hopefully someone will ring in that knows exactly what these are.
A cinderella stamp is "virtually anything resembling a postage stamp, but not issued for postal purposes by a government postal administration..." They are labels that resemble stamps and often have no real value. A presidential set was quite common. These were obviously issues during the Eisenhower period.

Well, there are also revenue, telegraph and test stamps which would not be considered cinderella stamps.
