Hi Pooh,
You do not need an expensive catalog but you do need to do some preliminary work. This will help us help you but more importantly it will help you learn how to ID the Washington/franklin stamps yourself.

The first step is to begin by determining the perforations for each stamp. A metal or plastic commercial perforation gauge is best but if you do not have one you can download and use a paper one. Here is a link to a free paper perforation gauge.

Once you have gauged the perforations, please post your findings for each stamp and we can go from there.

re: Washington and Franklin stamps

The "New York", and "Chicago" cancels are know as pre-cancels.

Here is a link about those:

I put together a summary of Washington / Franklins (Third Bureau):

This shows how many different catalog numbers they could be and why checking perf gauge first is the best bet.
