Hi to all

Could some-one help me identify the era of these.
My guess is WWII or Just after am I correct? Yet I have found one similar with a 1929 postmark?
Regards,
Horamakhet

Horamkhet, the stamp on the left is Scott # 367 from 1946-47 and is valued at $0.20 for used. I'll try to identify the other one later.

Are you sure the year was 1929? Remember that Japanese postmarks usually use regnal years, dating from the year of the Emperor's ascension, counting inclusively. So for the Meiji Era, add the year to 1867; for Taisho, add the year to 1911; for Showa, add the year to 1925, and for the present reign, add the year to 1988.
