A few of my Finland locals, an area new to me. Labeled with my best guesses for identification. Comments welcome!

Edit; I ordered a copy of Mike Ossa’s “Forgeries of Finland Postage Stamps” from Phil Banser. He has quite a large offering of philatelic literature-
here is a link to his website; www.philbansner.com/default.htm

Some women buy designer shoes, but I prefer to buy classic covers - they never go out of style!

Yes, I agree with your guesses. The stamps in the second row carry some phantasy cancellations. The genuine stamps have perforation about 12 (= type A) and 11 (type B). This brown issue is a bit more scarce comparing to the similar green / red coulored issue. The reprint have a guidance line for the perforation as seen on top of the second stamp.
