Rod, sorry for the belated reply. I definitely need more investigation but at a first glance your items should be ;
1st pic, left : vignette of "Kou Tou (or Kanton) Cho Shun Dou", unknown company. As the image in the center is of Beni-Fuji (rose Mt. Fuji), which is a traditional Japanese symbol, I suspect this is from Japan.
Center: Evidently a quality certification label for silk fabric of Fukui prefecture, known as "Ha-bu-tae Silk". But this label raises additional question on the former Pine label, and I must change my former observation. More details to be come this week if I can find more time...
Right: China?
The "Bolwer Hats" vignette: the Japanese writing says "Hyogo Prefecture Panama Hat Manufactures Accociation", and is evidently a certification label for passing the inspection.
The last "Saving Stamp" is indeed a commemorative stamp issued in commemoration of the wedding of the Crown Prince Yoshihito and Princess Sadako, issued on Apr 28, 1990. 3 Sen carmine, Scott No, 109. The cancellation is not readable but is a bisected circle type datestamp, vertical inscription used for postage order and postal savings.
Regards, unechan @ Osaka, Japan |

Hello rod222& unechen Quote:
The first label is not a revenue stamp but should be a label/seal issued by a gem stone store, Honjyo-Nishiki-Ishi-Do(h)-Ten located at Honjyo city (now a part of Akita prefecture) to certificate the quality of the "Nishiki-Ishi" gem stone, showing that its quality is the best.
And here comes the mystery tour ;-)
1) The small inscription in the bottom could be read as (from right to left);
"Hon-Jyo Nishiki-Ishi-Do(h) Ten In"
which means "the seal of Honjyo Nishiki-ishi Store".
I am not sure if these are listed in any revenue/label catalogues, however they may be mentioned in the 'Shimomura' revenue catalogue? I have added the following labels by colour using the 'Stanley Gibbons' stamp colour key. 1. On fragment of paper, colour blackish olive, with company initials to the bottom left. Is this example a late printing showing the company initials?  2. Colour olive green on thin wove paper, rough perfs  3. Colour prussian blue on white medium wove paper  4. Colour grey olive on thin wove paper, rough perfs  When were these labels in use? Just found a reference on the web to the above label/seal? http://eng.ssjp.dk/rev/eng/rev/silkrevnew.htmlThe label is show as being Fukui Export Pure Silk? Andrew |

May I seek translation to the stamp, and the marginal marking please. Thank you. Sc#N19 1943 OS4 16c moro vinta The vinta is a traditional boat from the Philippine island of Mindanao. The boats are made by Sama-Bajau and Moros living in the Sulu Archipelago, Zamboanga peninsula, and southern Mindanao. It has a sail with assorted vertical colors that represents the colorful culture and history of the Muslim community. Block 12 repaired with backing sheet.  |

For the stamp with the boat:
Philippines Postage (Hitô Yûbin)
16 Centavos (16 sentabo)
I don't have time right now to figure out the marginal inscription, since I have to leave for work, and I don't have the ability to attempt to read the other piece. |

Well, that was tricky! Although the inscription on the stamps runs from left to right, the marginal inscription runs from right to left!
