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

I had no success with any of there using the Stamp Identifier app but you may find it useful for other items in the future. I have used it to identify many odd stamps. Often they end up being revenue stamps.

2 and 3 should be Zemstvo (or at least, that's what's written on them) Zemstvo is a separate chapter, i don't know a lot of them, but you can read something more here zemstvo.com/I don't have a catalog for them 4 and 5 i believe they're not stamps. At least, there is not indication of the issuing country, nor the value On the 4th is written St. Sophia in Kiev, but is it enough to say it's an ukrainian label? I don't know... |

2 & 3 are local issues Zemstvo posts when the imperial network did not reach remote rural towns and cites.
no 4 indeed has a Ukrainian trident top right corner but probably a charity label, certainly not postage stamps.

As ameis33 & vikingeck stated, the 2nd & 3rd stamp are Zemstvos. I'm back and have access to my catalogs. From Soloviev... #2 Pereyaslav #27(1913) #3 Zolotonosha #2a(1880) I defer to others regarding whether your stamps are genuine or not. |

Zemstvo, apparently, is comparable to "private mail".
Very interesting site.
There is also an online catalogue.
Thanks to all.

I cannot be sure of No. 5 but it looks Bulgarian. Their early stamps have crowned rampant lion, but facing the other way and with a different crown . Russian would have a double headed Eagle.
The Cyrillic monogram is the letters F and N or N and F. There is a political party the "Bulgarian National Front" which seems to be recent post Communist. I feel however the "stamp" is much earlier probably 1920s ?

Thx vikingeck
I didn't think of that.
I read "O" and "I" but sure, it's one letter in Cyrillic.
I can keep looking there.
The age of stamps, hmm.
They're from an album that my grandfather got in the 1930s or 1940s.
Whether the stamps were already included at that time or were added later is not known.
The hinge, that the stamps were attached to, is ancient design.
