Ok, I'll give it a shot.
1. Turkey, Scott 438, color is indigo.
2. People's Republic of China, Scott 3335, 2004 (that was a tough one).
3. Unknown, doesn't seem to be a postage stamp. It is a postage stamp.
4. Possibly, local Ukraine overprint on USSR stamp, from the days of the break-up of the Soviet Union.
5. Bosnia & Herzegovina (Serb Administration), Scott 94a.
Regards, Robert

#4 is defintely from the breakup of the Soviet Union. It looks like it's a local overprint from the post office in Konotop, Ukraine. There are so many 1991-1992 soviet overprints in Ukraine, you could fill a whole album with them alone.

Here's the Wikipedia article on Konotop:

You can see the city seal in the center of the stamp overprint.
