They must be part of a bigger set. What's interesting is they are on what appear to be incredibly heavy photographic paper. Information about these two ships is quite abundant on the interweb, and it's quite fascinating. But I have no idea about the stamps themselves.
Anyone have any idea where or who (whom?) might have produced them?
Thanks in advance.

I can't find anything about these photostamps, but I have a set from Niagara Falls and during that era there were a number of sets. They come up occasionally on ebay, but mostly NF, Washington DC, national parks, etc. Have not seen a listing for naval ships, and one of the NF sets came with a list of other sets available from the producer. I'll have to dig that out & see what else I can come up with.

I found the sheet of Niagara Falls photo stamps and the envelope they came in:
Included is a list of sheets of photo stamps available for purchase. Alas! My memory is nicht so gut, as I forgot that 2 sheets of stamps of destroyers were included:
As you can see an extensive inventory was offered, both US and Canada. Apeda Studio in NYC was the vendor. I very occasionally find the NF sheet offered on eBay. I MAY have seen the Washington DC one of the parks (again, that neuron is not firing...), but none of the others. When I first got the stamps I looked up Apeda, but do not remember them still being in existence. Hope this whets your appetite.

I found another set of these by Apeda on the internet on China Town in San Francisco. The article said they sold for 10 cents and came in the yellow envelope like Roger displayed.
Also found another sheet that recently sold on eBay for over $40.

Brilliant! thankyou both for your responses. Now I can place these, and even look for more in the future.

I'm looking for information about the origins of these labels. I received these some time ago in a batch of cinderellas and labels, mainly US WWI and II patriotic labels. These two ships were amongst the treasures, the USS Roper and USS Zane.
