These are all Japanese revenues. I have lots of notes on these, but I have not pulled the trigger on the Shimomura catalogue. It is on my list of books to buy, but not the short list.
My best information is: 1 is a registration tax revenue from 1888 2 is a 50-sen court fee revenue from 1894 3 is a documentary revenue from 1883 4 is the low value of the 1873 documentary revenues 5-7 are 1898 tax revenues, unless they are watermarked, in which case they are later.
The years are the first year the design would have appeared. Perfs or watermarks could help a specialist narrow down to a particular year or issue, perhaps.
