First three are Swiss, then Mozambique, Germany, last one on top row is Spain or a Spanish possession like Cuba/Puerto Rico or Philippines.
Spanish Tangier then Spanish colony (likely Africa, can't make out the text even enlarging the image)

Hi Brian,
The fourth stamp is a postal tax stamp from Mozambique.
The sixth stamp is a war tax stamp from Spain.
These are both listed in regular stamp catalogues.
The last two are charity labels collecting funds for orphans of the telegraph service.

nigelc is correct on the stamps he noted! The last 2 Spanish Civil War Charity were issues to raise money for war orphans.
The 5th stamp over I need to have blown up bigger to place it!

Hey Brian, Mike here! Thank You!
You have a German Empire Telegraph stamp #16 issued 1875 & used value in 1982 was .50!
The catalog I have is "Telegraph & Telephone Stamps Of The World" by Hiscocks.

Hi Brian,
As Roy said, this is a German telegraph stamp. It's from the second (1875) set.
The design is basically the same as the earlier North German Confederation telegraph stamps with text changes.
Edit: I see Warrehouse beat me to it using the same reference!
