The "333's" are actually 530's [issued in 1918].
The 5c has a Bay City style-455 precancel which is quite common.

Two have thins, two have creases and the one sound three cent offset is about fine.

Third scan has tear/thin on lower right corner of stamp and heavy hinge mark on reverse, it's also a straight edge. All would pretty much render that stamp "junk" or a filler at best.

The last scan of the 5c Washington is a nice precancel from Bay City, Michigan, unfortunately, it's got a diagonal crease through it, so there again it is less desirable.

I think some of the stamps may be mislabeled in terms of the actual Scott Number, as some look to be perf. 11 and others perf. 12. Some with more knowledge of the Washington/Franklin series may be able to guide you with more information.
