I came across these in an old stockbook. They were with a complete set of 1905 King Peter I issues(which I did find listed) and I'm assuming with the "Nowta" inscription, they are also from Serbia. But, I'm not finding these in my available catalogs.
I would much appreciate any help as far as country of origin(if not Serbia), catalog#, date of issue and CV. They are all in unused condition.
Thank you very much for any help you can offer,

Don't have access to a catalog right now, but those appear to be Ukrainian - the stylized trident (middle top of the three on right, one on each side of two on left) is a dead giveaway.

There they are, 1920 Ukraine "new daily stamps".
Note to self, stylized trident = Ukraine.
You guys always make it seem so easy!

This set was ordered by Symon Petliura's Ukrainian government while it was fighting the Soviet forces. However, by the time they had been printed, the government had lost control of its last Ukrainian territory and its remaining forces had been pushed back into Poland.

A wee bit o' history with these then, very interesting.
What do you suppose would have happened with them right at that point in time? If they were never issued for use, were they stuck in a vault and discovered later? Would they have been recognized back then as having value in the philatelic market? I guess I've never really thought about how stamps of this nature, ever became available to collectors. It seems like if they weren't going to be issued for use, they would have been destroyed. If for no other reason, as a statement of victory.
I know there have been other cases of this same scenario, but just how did stamps like this find their way into the collector market?

I'm sure they were sold very quickly to stamp dealers, either directly by the printers or by agents of the government in exile.
