followed by Tasset's 'Marianne Medallion' the 1891 version with brown values are not scarce (at least by catalog value) but I haven't seen any yet so ... I hope to find a 1910 15c&2/10 still in my stash .. also not particularly scarce I don't think

and a few heavily cancelled duplicates **edited to add: I wonder if the poster paper was stamped before the actual printing occurred ... so not canceled but rather printed over

so a little help maybe from my French speaking stamp friends? Or maybe just better deducing skills than I seem to have ... the Y&T catalog lists multiple varieties of the 50c&2/10 and the 1F&2/10 with the abbreviation ' s.' as in 'bleu s. bleu-gris' ... I know that's blue and blue-gray but I'm not sure about that s. looking at the stamps it seems to indicate the secondary color so maybe abbreviates for secondary? anyway here's the catalog snip along with some stamps to try to sort ... funny how the authors make a number of distinctions between blues grays and greens but all of the pink/rose/carmine/etc varieties all get shoved into one listing

This is a guess, but I think the s. if for "sur" (on) so blue on blue gray, light blue on light gray, etc.
Why they would abbreviate when there is room for the full word is a mystery

I was making it more complicated than necessary stamp catalogs are dense and difficult to begin with ... deciphering one in a non-native language??

I confirm, the "s." stands for "sur". Yvert & Tellier uses notations like "bleu-clair s. azuré" to mean "light blue on bluish paper". The color after the "s." refers to the color of the paper itself.

this Effets de Commerce series may be the toughest one to sort out .. there are no less than nine different series issued between 1874 and 1885; all designed by Oudine, and all with various colors for values and orientations of the values (i.e. small circle, big oval, no circle at all etc) here is one image of three which on first inspection all look to be the same stamp ... however the third one (far right) looks like it might be a Type II surcharge (as it looks a little bigger and more 'hand-stamped'). I would have to break out the digital microscope to measure to be sure. I've included the relevant catalog bits for your enjoyment . As you can see the Type II has considerably more value.

I am at a loss on this one.... I believe it has to do with contracts... but I do not find in Yvert & Tellier Fiscaux perhaps it is referring The Swiss confederation? Canton of Valais??? maybe I am looking at this wrong? i'm not real sure how I came to have it?!?

Canton of Valais??? maybe I am looking at this wrong? i'm not real sure how I came to have it?!? Definitely from the Swiss Canton of Valais, that's their coat of arms. This is a case of doing exactly what it says on the tin or revenue stamp, in this case. Or look up Forbin online, Suisse page 737 from a set of 15 but appears to be listed as 1877, so not so helpful 😁 An attractive revenue. Daniel

daniel thank you, I forget about Forbin (I have the 1915 edition), I do find something very similar, but not exactly.... They list a 1 Franc outremer, but date is 2 years later- 1877 (#33) and perf is 11-1/2 x 13, and this stamp is 11-1/2. There is a 1895 issue with the 11-1/2 perf, but color is all rose vif.... and size is listed as 43 x 20. which is the not the image, is pretty close, but 20 years later and wrong color! It is nice, though not exactly in my 'sphere of interest", but issued in Francs always bets my attention!

I think the May 22, 1875 date likely refers to the date of the act that established the tariff, rather than the date the stamp was issued.
There is a note in Forbin following the 1877 listing on page 737 that translates to "There were also some values in dull blue."
Perhaps, in addition to the color variation, those dull blue stamps were also perf. 11-1/2.

This came in a lot of France perfins, but I believe this is a date stamp (although I haven't seen this before). If I have ID'd correcctly it is a Yvert & Tellier # 149 (on a greenish paper). 2000 Y &T CV is 800 Eruros mint / used 100 Euros (which makes this one of the higher CV issues. This appears to be used, even though looks ao have the gum on the back (which hinge thin), and I believe I can see some ink transfer from the document it (may have been) affixed to (the back image is mirrored so the date isn't backwards. It looks like handwritten in red red ink)

What I collect: I collect world wide up to 1965 with several specialty albums added due to volume of material I have acquired. At this point I am focused on Canada and British America. I am always on the lookout for stamps and covers with postmarks from communities in Queens County, Nova Scotia. I do list various goods including stamps occasionally on eBay as hdm50

while still searching for what apparently cannot be found on my desk or nearby..... 1920 Y&T 446 and 447, a proportional duty on "negotiable and non-negotiable effects" based on a duty fee of 20 centimes for each 100F of value. Thus th e80c stamp was for goods with a valur of 300F but less than 400F and the 1F duty was for 400 - 499.99F. The earlier 1912 issue did not have "Au dessus" as part of the overprimng (and all appear to have been in red ink)

Very nice daniel I have the 2000 Y & T Fiscaux and I find d'affiches, but nothing with d'affichage (posters / display ). There is fora single entry for local issues ( Ville de Neuilly Sur-Seine), and with your stamps showing Ville de Paris, s As the Euro was adopted in 1995-98, it seems you have a unique addition!!!

Hi Stan, I couldn't find out much about them either. There are, however, half a dozen listed on eBay including a lot of 3 from Stanley Gibbons. No dates or catalogue numbers are given by anyone but one listing is denominated in new francs introduced in 1960. So, I would date the others to the 1950s (?) Daniel

I think that Xavier ( hrdoktorx ) is on the right track Stanley ( stainlessb ) and the last two stamps you have shown appear to be Syrian Revenue stamps. They say, patience is a future and if you wait, the answer will come... Have fun and happy collecting!
