They are from Faridkot, one of the Indian feudatory states. Basically they are bogus as they were created after the Faridkot State post office closed, and were made exclusively for collectors.
Scott has a small note about this following India Faridkot (Feudatory states) Scott #3.
Thanks for the response. I will modify my Faridkot page and add these with the explanation. If I get it done this week, I'll try to post the result!
Stanley Gibbons have just announced a new catalogue for pre-order on India and the feudatory states, current up to December 2022. Sample pages and pricing (around 35 UK pounds) will probably be viewable on their website.

I went to my Steiner pages files and found that there were already pages for the Faridkot Cinderellas! No need to design new pages. Now I have blanks to fill! Ah, the joys of stamp collecting.



Thanks for that information. I have a few of them too, and didn't know Steiner had pages for them. I'll be printing pages too!

While working on clearing up a box lot of Indian Feudatory States, I came across an unmarked envelope with these stamps. Cannot find them in my Scott Classic Catalog. Any help would be appreciated. Maybe they are not Indian, but some other country. They appear to be dated 1932.
