1st one is Probably a Scott #405, just a bit faded is all. the 2nd is what is known as a duplex cancel, very common and the 3rd is most likely a Yellow / Green Scott's 632. You're looking for a Ruby in a Mountain of Rocks, keep hunting :)

China clay papers were 1908 - 1909. Scott 330's labeled as bluish paper and Some philatelists believe that China clay stamps are a myth, as examination of some purported examples failed to find any clay in the composition of the paper.

You have to savour the experience.

Be aware there is a phenomenon called "stamp burn out"
Sleep is important.

First stamp is Scott 525 offset and the date stamp is 1919 witha crooked slug. The Milwaukee 3 left cancel was only used 1919-20. The cancel is from Universal model DT3-300.

The last numeral in the year is "9" but it is cocked a little so that it cuts part of it off to look like a 3. Also notice the heavy inking on the right side and top right of the numeral where the right side was striking harder.

Edit
Date and time slugs

Scott specialized de-listed the China Clay stamps. I feel for all those who owned the purported China Clay paper stamps. THey were a little pricey.

Does any one have any updates on the status of the China clay stamps.

The bluish paper stamps are not the same as the stamps which were formerly listed as the China Clays.

For some reason I was thinking the "Bluish Papers" were the 330 series. They are Scott's 357-366.
