The image features a Jaipur State 1/4 Anna Postal Stationery Card from the British India period (Feudatory States). Specifically, it shows the Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II issue, typically dating from the late 1930s to the 1940s. Below is an analysis and evaluation of its current market value based on recent philatelic trends. ________________________________________ ### Market Value Evaluation The market for Indian Princely State stationery is niche but steady. For a standard 1/4 anna Jaipur card in the condition shown: Key Value Drivers • Condition: Your card appears to have some "foxing" (brown spotting) and corner wear. Clean, crisp cards command the higher end of the price range. • Postal Markings: If the reverse side (not visible) contains a rare postmark from a small village office or a specific "Darbak" (State) cancellation, the value can increase significantly to a specialist collector. • Quantity: These were produced in large numbers; however, finding them in "Very Fine" condition is becoming more difficult, which slightly inflates the price for mint specimens. ________________________________________ ### Technical Identification • State: Jaipur (Princely State of India). • Denomination: 1/4 Anna (Quarter Anna). • Portrait: Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II. • Language: Bilingual (English and Hindi/Devanagari). • Era: Circa 1930s–1940s.
