Found this row of stamps. I did a stamp search and came up empty. So I took to the internet and did not find it right away. Google photo search found some close, and it also found a few eBay auctions.

I found out it is the bottom row of a block of 48 king and queen stamps of England. I did not see who made it, but they are interesting nonetheless.

I do not think they are stamps. These are called "Cinderellas"

Definitely not true postage stamps. They are part of a sheet that pictures Kings and Queens of England. I have a full sheet (one of a few styles that exist). I'll post an image when I have more time, or see forum thread below.

I have the booklet that's shown in that thread. It's fun to look at. I found it interesting that Edward the VIIII is looking down.

Landoquakes, Edward the 9th, really?
As for looking down, he was probably on the balcony of the palace looking down at all the admiring crowds of wellwishers.

Ha! I guess I don't know my Roman numerals well (or I have a time machine ;) )
