A 'Cinderella stamp' is a label that looks like a postage stamp, but that has not been issued by an official, government postal administration for postal purposes.  The stamp in previous post would not be classified as a cinderella stamp as the German Postal System has been officially opened up after the liberalisation of the postal markets from 1998.
Local (unofficial) postal services use cinderella stamps to show postage has been paid, just like official organisations.
Issued in 1999 from East Timor, Ocussi-Ambeno
2 cent and 2 dollar values
