Was I bored? Absolutely! Somehow I found these fantasy issues mildly intriguing. These are the first of many pages I am working on right now.Enjoy.

The Brainhard & Co is a fairly good forgery of the original. Couple of others not so great.

Neil Bantock has some interesting ones. Sabine Strohem, an artist (she illustrates postage stamps) and comes from a fictional group of small islands in the South Pacific known as the Sicmon Islands (Arbah, Katie, Katin, Ta Fin, Quepol and Typ) Here's a 'maxicard' from the island of KATIE

Katie should not be confused with the Island of KATIN - Stamps 3c and 4c

If you are still unsure where the islands contained in the previous posts are situated I now attach a map on a cover from my collection with a stamp from another of the islands - Quepol

The Henry Archer Essay might be more than just a fantasy Some of them are worth a lot $$$$ There are about 6 different colors of the Prince Albert essay and some can be very rare BTW - Henry Archer invented the first perforator in 1848 Unfortunately the perfed version is probably a reprint? of some kind and not worth much

The bottom 4 come from a large sheet of 16, 4 of each type with cross gutter centrally. Nice, especially for Alice fans !! Arrived in the mail today By Gerald King, 1965 or 1979 ? Now am off to find every Alice in Wonderland Cinderella issue by Gerald king and others. Okay maybe not every issue especially those earlier stamps of 1865 on FDC & 1871 , these are very hard and expensive to acquire i imagine ? I saw some early covers on Stampcircuit going for some steep prices $$$ .

Is there a Wonderland in the USA as well ?!... According to Wikipedia sources, the Wonderland, California post office was in operation from 1924 to 1946. Wonderland was apparently a vacation resort. p.s., all of the blocked images in this thread have now been restored to their original grandeur!
