The top stamp was issued in 1934 to commemorate the death of Chaim Bialik, one of a set of 6.
Issued in Booklet panes of 4.

The second label is not a KKL item but a label to advertise the Zionist Youth Movement, Gordonia. This movement was established after the Jewish Philosopher A.D. Gordon who is depicted on the label.

The third item is most likely [but not 100% sure] a 1918 label celebrating the 1st Anniversary of the Balfour Declaration depicting Theodore Herzl on the balcony of the Kings Hotel in Basle,Switzerland during the 1st Zionist Congress.
Many other similar labels exist, with different inscriptions,values and overprints.
Issued in Booklet panes of 4.

The fourth stamp is similar to the above but issued much earlier, in 1909, to commemorate the 5th Death Anniversary of Herzl.
Also issued in Booklet panes of 4

The last one was issued in 1909 and is one of a set of six celebrating the 60th Birthday of Max Nordau, Co-Founder of the World Zionist Organization with Theodore Herzl.
These were issued in Booklet panes of 6 [3x2]

Your labels issued between 1909 and 1918 were out of the JNF Offices in Cologne,Germany.
The later issue was out of the Offices in Jerusalem.

If you need any more info, Perfs etc, just ask.

Hope this helps.

Londonbus1....loves to help [when time allows !]
