Randy,
You do come up with some interesting ones. The 1st row on the right is from St. Anthony's Guard/Guide/Guild, depending on what seems to work I guess. Here is a link to an interesting post on another forum:

The middle row, right hand label relates to the 'West German Observer' (WestDeutscher Beobachter); a Nazi propaganda 'magazine' which was the official organ of the NASDAP (National Socialist Party of Germany).
At that time (1944), the paper was printed daily.
What is unclear is the use of the word 'Monatsbezug', which literally means 'monthly remuneration'.
Somehow, I would have expected this to be a monthly subscription pre-payment label but the German word for that is 'abonnement'. Perhaps this could actually be some sort of payment token from WB for articles written or services rendered. But this is pure guess work on my part.
Nonetheless, a nice historical item, which I haven't seen before.

The Iberia stamp (bottom right) is a private stamp issued by Iberia Airways in Spain. Iberia airlines was authorized to carry mail and issue stamps. They are private in nature, so are not in the catalogs.

Ningpo was correct on his first statement about the stamp. it is a subscription pre-payment stamp for the newspaper.
For those who wished to purchase a subscription by the month rather than buying the paper at a newsstand, a red covered subscription book was provided as a record of payment. The paper delivery boy would come around monthly, collect his 2.80 Reichsmarks (85 US cents) subscription cost, and place a monthly stamp in the space provided in the subscriber's book.
The above was taken from the following web site that explains more in depth:

Just to clarify: the Volkischer Beobachter was the national newspaper of the NSDAP; the Westdeutscher Beobachter was a regional version published in Koln.

Good to see further clarification of that W Beobachter label. It just illustrates how difficult the German language can be.

Tim's response is correct: it is Saint Anthony's Guild, issued during the halcyon days of seals.

Quite a lot of info given here!
I am impressed with all of you and grateful for all your help!
I've said it before, but will again;
There is NO stamp site better than SOR for knowledgeable people who are willing to help.
A big thank you to all.

Here are some I'm having trouble with; obviously, not all are postage stamps - but what are they?
Any help would be appreciated!
