First there is this large US stamp of some kind that I can't find anywhere in my Scott Specialized. It's hard to see but I believe that the vertical lettering says registered. And then these 2 others that are clearly not from the U.S. and look British to me. I have no world wide catalogue. I will appreciate any help. Thanks, ccndd

The USA item is a post office seal. They are listed in the Scott US Specialized Catalog. Depending on the paper type: OXF1, OXF2, or OXF3. These are "Registry Seals", and were designed to help prevent tampering of registered mail. (Issued 1872 through 1880)
The two stamps on the bottom are postage due stamps from Switzerland.
