On the top left the stamp looks like Japan but I can not find in the catalog.

Bottom row I have a few more stamps with the same names on the stamps. I can not find these names in the catalog.

Any help in identifying these would be really appreciated.

re: Need Help to ID these stamps

Hi Doug;

The one on upper-left is a Japanese revenue stamp. I saw one just a couple months ago that another member identified.

The one on the upper-right looks like Chinese to me, but not sure.

The stamp on the lower left is from French Morocco, because it is in centimes, or French currency.

The one on the lower right is in Spanish currency hence centimos.

Both bottom stamps have Marakech in the bottom panel, a major city in Morocco I believe.

Mazagan is a Beach & Golf Resort in Morocco, so perhaps these are some sort of private post labels.

Still just sortin'....

re: Need Help to ID these stamps

Hi Doug,

I was lucky to see a stunning collection of early Morocco postal history in London in January that included examples of all the Moroccan local postage stamps on cover. Happy

Each of these local posts delivered mail on a specific route (as indicated on the stamp).

The Mazagan-Marrakech stamp is from the first of these services which ran from 1891 to 1900.

The Mazagan - Azemmour - Marrakech stamp is from a service which ran from 1897 to 1901.

Azemmour is on the coast a little to the north of Mazagan.

These two services (and various others) connected Marrakech with port towns and the various foreign post offices based there.

There was a similar network of services in the north of Morocco linking Fez with other ports such as Tangiers and Tetouan.

These services predated the foreign protectorates but they do reflect the influence of the foreign powers that protected them.

The brown stamp at the top right is a Korean revenue stamp.

It's a one yen stamp issued by the Pyongyang prefecture around 1935.

The picture is upside-down and I believe the writing is in Japanese.
