The 3 cent stamp on the right is a revenue stamp from the Ryukyu Islands, Scott #R18.
Not sure, but I would say the other two are from Japan, revenues like unemployment insurance, postal savings, etc.
thanks michael...it seems I wasn't too far off the track
best wishes, capetown
Hi,
Michael is correct. The first two are Japanese National Pension Fund stamps.
The brown 450 yen stamp is from 1964.
The blue 900 yen stamp is from 1968.
Both have coloured security underprints.
A Hungarian stamp. What does the wheat (?)overprint mean?
It wasn't until I enlarged the stamp that I could see
1919 in the middle.
"Filler" means "penny" in English.
The strong black wheat overprint recovers a previous overprint in red:Magyar Tanacs Köztarsasg, that means 'Soviet Hungarian Republic'. It dates back to the Bela Kun revolution in 1919 after the collapse of the Austro-Hungariam Emprire.
Thank you so much
It is so cool that someone on here can quickly identify these kind of stamps from, really, a moment in time! It's great!
