    From the scan I cannot see what the colour of your
    stamp might be.I presume it´s brown.
    If so,the stamp should be Michel no.60 from 1890.
    The stamp was printed in great numbers,more than
    one billion.Printed over a periode of about 20 years
    different papers were used and many different shades exist.In perfect condition it is valued € -.50.
    This design was used in Bavaria from 1874 till 1911.
    From 1867 till 1875 a similar design was used.
    These were in Kreuzer currency.On January 1st,
    the Mark was introduced in all Germany.One Mark
    was equivalent to 35 Kreuzer.
    I do not collect "modern" Bavaria,but only the
    stamps of the Kreuzer-periode (1849 - 1875)
    Bavaria was the only german state,what issued
    own stamps till 1920.
    Württemberg also had own stamps,but ceased to
    have regular stamps in 1902.Service stamps were issued there till 1920.
