Hi Sami, assuming there are no grills on the backs of the Stamps they would be Scott catalog # 65, which is a common stamp.
The from the USA is probably someone bored with a Pen. Check the backs of the Stamps and see if there is a checkerboard looking pattern embossed into the paper.

Welcome :)

At least the writing on the 2nd one looks contemporary.
The person sending the mail might have written it, or a bored postal worker.
Either way, I like it!

Hi,

Thank your for your reply.

Here's an image of the backs of the stamps.

There's no grill on the back of the first but one on the second (with an "MC" (?) scripture").

The one on the left with the mc on it has a grill, the grill is a f grill which makes the stamp a #94

"MC" is probably the mark of a previous owner.
That particular stamp has tons of character, front and back.
I love stamps with character!
