Found this among some stamps.

Looks like some German Caroline Islands Cinderella or something

Any ideas?

I think it's one of the ex-German colonies mourning labels - post WWI. There's one for each ex-colonies I believe.

This is from the set of Cinderella's called "The Lost German Colonies" (or something close to that). There was 1 for each of the colonies "lost" at the end of the 1st WW.

Yes, the Rev and Battle are correct. There was some write-ups on these in the Pacific Islands Study Circle, I will see if I can find them, now that I have all issues of the journal "Pacifica" on CD.

The large sized one has been trimmed it should have a green boarder. That one is the one that is always missing.
