I can't help explain what it is, but if interested there is another one for sale on eBay right now for around $7.00, the mystery item described as an unknown forgery triangular stamp or revenue.

Dear all

I hope I can shed some light on this. The inscription (left and right) means 'royal prince' or perhaps 'crown prince'. The object in the centre is a siamese crown. See also the following picture:

https://www.alamy.com/the-crown-pri...586386.html.

In the bottom left corner is the (Siamese) number one. And in the right-hand corner is the currency denomination 'Sik' (1 Baht (Tical) = 4 Salung, 1 Salung = 4 Sik = 8 Sio = 16 Atts = 32 Solot). Based on this currency designation, this 'stamp' must have been issued before 1909.

I do not know whether this 'stamp' is a tax stamp, a fee stamp or a charity stamp. Or whether it is ultimately a pure 'fantasy issue' is for others to decide. But perhaps my findings will prompt someone who knows more about it.

Best regards from Switzerland
André

Hi redwoodrandy,

Similar but not the same. The margins are different.

This is one of a group of stamps associated with the school for the royal children within the Siamese royal palace around 1883.

There are four designs with different sizes and shapes.

This value also exists in black on red and in black on grey.
