I am guessing that this is not actual postage but perhaps a Valentine's Day or Christmas type seal. The "lettering" did not come up in my guide to non-English lettering. It looks a lot like lettering you would find on stamps from Israel. That that would be my next guess. Any help (Country, year or full date, and possible value) would be appreciated. Thanks.

Found a second one, presumably part of the same set.

The word on the first label is "peace" in Hebrew (shalom) and the word on the second label is "peace" in Hindi (shanti).

Now that I'm a bit more awake, and reading your response, I'm going to take a wild guess that they ARE NOT Christmas seals. I would base this guess on my limited knowledge of religions in these regions.

While continuing the processing of G.B.C. Jr., I came across this one that may be a piece to the puzzle. The artwork and background certainly match. When I get a little more time today I'll see what I can dig up about this stamp and see if it is partnered up with the other two.

That would have made a great Mystery Stamp Quiz Patrick!!!!! And look who would have won it. None other than Jan-Simon, who won two of my MSQ's. IMHO I think that both Roy and Jan-Simon should be crowned "SOR Stamp Kings" for excellence in knowledge and the quality of information they share with all of us. Both have not only given us great information, but have also added scans of the items they were discussing.

Mike,
Thank you, you are too kind. There are many here who know a thing or two about stamps and in this particular case my role was limited: I only checked Pat's assumption and found a picture that showed he was right.

None of this false modesty, Jan-Simon, you sure know how to kneecap us amateurs.
