Page 1 of Mystery stamps

[crazyquilter]

I am sorting a collection of homemade album pages and came across this page that has easy ones and " no idea" 

But I told Mya I know the SB people will know. Mya knew the dark purple Queen. She laughed!

on first page the 2 green and 2 red stamps on the left are Japanese Occupation of the Philippines, scott number N26

Sure you know first stamp on that page is Bavaria and the 6.50 one is the Kingdom of Laos. Not a clue on those on the right.

Page 2

First one looks like Egypt but cannot see it clearly enough to be sure
7 and a half one is Netherlands
next 4 are I believe Ottoman Empire/Turkey
the 2 x 3d one you know are UK and there are 3 main watermarks plus inverts and sideways to look for
and the last one 10 red is Germany

guyana1230 already gave you the scoop on most of them. The rest:

Page 1, the remaining decorative ones are not stamps, but tabs from a sheet/booklet. I can't remember which country right now, but should be one of the European countries possibly the Netherlands.

Page 2, the blurry top stamp is indeed Egypt (postage due); of the 4 identified as "Turkey", the bottom left one is Eastern Rumelia.

I'm pretty sure those decorative ones are selvage from WWIIish French colonial large pictorial stamps. I'll check.

[I.M. DeBear]

French Somali Coast #150 (1938)


Other French colonies used this selvage as well.

You guys are brilliant at this sort of thing - I sit here shaking my head from side to side in wonder

I agree sharonb, I knew a few of them Laos, Bayern and there was US food stamps S&H Green. I remember those.
