Eleven documents, all foolscap, possibly relating to property. The tax stamps carried by nine of the items, and presence on the two others of a Rajasthan State stamp suggest that they date from the early years of Indian independence. Nine are bifoliums, each with punch-holed large blue oval design of the ‘Court Fee Stamp / Jaipur Government / Four Annas’ taking up much of the upper part of the recto of the first page. These documents are also blind stamped, upside down on the reverse of the second leaf, with an oval ‘Four Annas’ stamp of the ‘Jeypoor Treasury’. These nine items all have writing in Hindi, in a variety of hands, over three leaves. Each of the nine has a gummed stamp of the Above it in both cases is a small stamp of ‘RAJASTHAN STATE’. Neither of these items carries a gummed ‘Jaipur State / Postage & Revenue’ tax stamp, with depiction of a young man in a turban; eight of them green and grey 4 Annas, and one brown and grey 8 Annas. Each of the 4 Annas stamps has a punch hole in it, and the 8 Annas stamp is entire, but with one corner deliberately cut. The other two documents are each of 2pp, with similar writing, along with similar oval design in red ink at the head of the first page to the other nine (but smaller), this time for ‘Eight Annas / Revenue Stamp / Jaipur Government’.
