Interesting items - I’m sorry I’m definitely not the forum expert on Great Britain, but I can offer a tiny, friendly tip for your pics. Try cropping all the excess pic of the wood table and such from your pics. It will draw the eye more to your subjects and creates less scrolling to get to the next pic. Please - this isn’t a complaint, just a suggestion to make your pics be front and center. Cheers!  |

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

These are mostly cut out of postal stationary like from envelopes or postcards. The couple perf ones appear to be revenue stamps.

Here are some more pictures from stamps that I would like to have help with to situate them correctly.    The first is, as it says, a railway stamp for carrying newspapers, categorised as a parcel so as to bypass the Post Office letter monopoly, on their trains circa 1855. Probably the best item that you are showing in these posts. Maybe worth 2 or 3 pounds. The second item is a General-Duty Embossed Adhesive, 1897. Of minimal value, sorry. |

Too many here to identify individually but as has been said ,most are from postal stationery.
For convenience ,to save buying stamps and envelopes separately ,the Post Office sold stationery envelopes, cards and newspaper wrappers which had stamp images such as these pre printed and sometimes embossed like many of your examples . Most of your circular ones are torn or cut from envelopes . The first one is from an envelope for registered letter. The 4th one has an embossed date. 3. 2. 62 and this type of envelope referred to as the “Penny Pink” was commonly used for many years particularly business letters
The thicker square or rectangular ones will mostly have been cut from printed post cards , though one Victorian Halfpenny green on a sort of buff paper has been taken from a wrapper for posting newspapers.
Early stamp albums , when stamp issues were few and infrequent , had spaces printed for such cut outs . Now they have fallen out of favour with collectors except when they are still complete envelopes or cards.
