Need stamp ID possible Indian States?

Any idea where this stamp is from?

And is it right side up or sideways?

Faridkot, Scott does not believe they were valid for postage.

I'm not sure it is Fardikot. Please find a picture of the stamps issued before the British postal convention was accepted.

I do not answer questions about stamps unless I am positive I have the correct answer.  The catalog  reference you showed  shows the same 3 stamps that Scott does.  Scott notes that  "Several other varieties exist, but it is believed that only the (3) stamps listed here  were issued for postal use".  In addition your catalog casts doubt on whether or not No. 3 was ever valid for postage.

 

Here is my collection page of Faridkot.  Most all the issues are shown, icluding the 3 listed stamps and most of the ones that were not valid for postage.
