Hi to all,

I believe these to be Russian, but correct me if I am wrong.
Can anyone tell me what year they were minted.
They are all mint unhinged.

re: RUSSIA WHAT YEAR?

They are the same design of some early Russian stamps of the same period. These are from Ukraine and differ from the Russian stamps by the difference of colors. Issued in 1918.

re: RUSSIA WHAT YEAR?

To my untutored gaze these are no more than SG 79 and 80, issued in 1902 (if on vertically laid paper) or in 1917 as SG122a and 124a (if on wove).

re: RUSSIA WHAT YEAR?

They appear to be Russia Sc. 137 / 138.

The following varieties exist:
vertical lozenges of varnish on the surface and perforated 13 1/2 or perforated 13 1/2 x 13:

03.50 R. (1917 - Sc. #137) - Maroon & Light Green.
07.00 R. (1917 - Sc. #138) - Dark Green & Pink.

vertical lozenges of varnish on the surface and perforated 12 1/2,:

03.50 R. (1917 - Sc. #137a) - Maroon & Light Green.
07.00 R. (1917 - Sc. #138a) - Dark Green & Pink.

horizontal lozenges of varnish on the surface and perforated 13 1/2 x 13:

03.50 R. (1917 - Sc. #137b) - Maroon & Light Green.
07.00 R. (1917 - Sc. #138b) - Dark Green & Pink.

re: RUSSIA WHAT YEAR?

Scott appears to outperform Gibbons on this one. Assuming aficionados can tell from the scan that this is wove rather than vertically-laid paper, then the answer to the original question is evidently 1917.

re: RUSSIA WHAT YEAR?

Jansimon. No not really. I seemed to have had a dumb attack. I was wrongly thinking that those colors were used in Ukraine and did not check Russia (see below). Sorry, I hate giving wrong info but at least I have you guys to correct me. It was not even a hard question as to origin I have no doubt there are many of them in my duplicate folders.

re: RUSSIA WHAT YEAR?

To be absolutely clear: these are stamps with horizontal lozenges of varnish on the surface perforated 13 1/2 x 13. Russian specialized catalogues date the printing as being from 1919.
