They are Chinese revenue stamps.
The top one is a savings stamp. Not sure on the revenue purpose of the bottom one.
They are not listed in the standard stamp catalogs.
The bottom stamp is also a postal savings stamp, as inscribed in the top character panel for both stamps.
Thanks for the additional information,Kim. I thought it was, but wasn't sure.
Those character panels don't look the same to me. Guess I need to brush up on my Greek.
Tank you everybody, I apreciate your help, Tanks Michael, tanks Kim, if you found anny other information, let me know,
Happy Hollidays, Jacques
