I was working through my hoard of stamps and came across this odd stamp. I would call it a Cinderella because there is no value on it. The stamp has an image of a man flanked by "8th" and "Ave" So what say you? Cinderella or not?

It's a reprint of an adhesive item issued in the 1850s, I think.

Yes, a crude forgery of Scott 130L4, Russell 8th Avenue Post Office of 1854-58. There is only one 130L4 known and it is both used and damaged.
