Hi seant , welcome to the forum. These are all examples of Revenue items. The first one, Bill or Note, was embossed onto Bills of Exchange or Promissory Notes. The numbers represent the date, 3rd May 1893. They are fairly common. The next item in blue is an embossed General Duty semi-adhesive stamp for £25 with a metal escutcheon to secure it to parchment. There were no date plugs used at this time and so, a dating stamp is used, in this case for London, 21st November 1868. Perhaps worth a few pounds. Below that, two more General Duty stamps for £20 and 5 shillings in red, also with metal escutcheons, and a dating stamp for 11th August 1882. Again, worth a few pounds. Finally, Chancery Fee Fund revenues with metal escutcheons. These were used to collect fees for court proceedings rather than being a tax. Dated 24th November 1868. Again, probably worth a few pounds. Maybe £10 to £20 for the lot. Hope this helps, Daniel
