Hi. I'm looking to identify these by country and year. I'm not completely sure they are postage stamps. There is a hammer and sickle on a couple, but I don't think they are Soviet stamps, although I could be wrong...

Hi Ringo, you have Armenia 1922. Not issued for postage without overprints (as you have). They could be classed as labels or cinderellas, but whatever, they are nice. There are a number of shade varieties too, they can be perf. or imperf, and have some nice misplacement of colours. They are rarely seen with overprints, despite their low catalogue value which would imply that they are common.

Sorry, the phone isn't too helpful for looking at the bigger picture. In the 2nd picture you also have two Azerbaijan 1921 famine relief stamps (the two imperf. ones). T

The mountain shown on some of the Armenian stamps is Mount Ararat, of "Noah's ark fame."

The dark stamp on the second card which looks to me as though it shows some ruins within a map is a view of ruins seen looking out of a cave. I've found this design intriguing ever since I learned this.

The ACCP that is visible in a few stamps stands for Armenian Socialist Sowjet Republic
