Has me stumped  The first has similar format to Saudi Arabia Sc type A7 The Mosque makes me think of Tunisia Looks vaguely familiar, but I draw blanks. The second, never seen in circa 20 years of collecting Balai sometimes translates to broom ? The swans look out of place to me. Look forward to see these identified. (Not seen them on "unidentified" stamps links) |

Go to the link JimD gave above, and then go back one page to the 1922 Coat of Arms stamps. It looks like those are the ones you are looking for.

I don't think so. The Hejaz issues show Hussein's coat of arms. This stamp shows a drawing of a building. The design's also much cruder than the Hejaz postage stamps. Some other, non-postal purpose in the same area? |

Camels, Date palms, Swans in the Congo?
I don't see any reference in the links, that show a Mosque.
I'd suggest that is some type of Arabic Revenue.

They are indeed difficult little fellows. I went through the old "Stefano Unidentifieds site" and were not listed there. I've not come across the Congo issue, and I have been collecting Cinderellas for 20 odd years. Looks like a "Phantasy" to me. These others are the only ones never solved in my experience.

With appreciation to Mr. Roger Riga Riga Stamps http://rigastamps.highwire.com/Whilst not seen this before, his suggestions were valuable. Looks like possibly one of a set of Poster Stamps issued in which this stamp honoured Dr. Noel Ballay quote: Quote:
Other searches suggest that this area was explored in search of fauna and such in the late 19th century by a Dr. Balay. (rod: Ballay?)
Poster stamps depicting natural features, expeditions, flora and fauna, etc. of colonial Africa are not uncommon. It is probably one of a large set, rather than a distinct issue from an individual place. From all appearances. it is of late 19th or early 20th century origin which would be consistent for a poster stamp of this character. Dr. Ballay is honoured on a postage Stamp Scott# 1 Upper Senegal and Niger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No%C3%ABl_BallayThis looks to me like the best likelyhood of its source. Consistant theme, Camel and Cameleer.  Dr. Noel Eugene Ballay An Honourable man. Quote:
On 2 July 1890 he was a delegate from France at the International Conference of Brussels for the abolition of slavery.  |

Both look like Cinderella stamps ,the first one could be some kind of early Palestine revenue stamp and the other Belgium stamp dealer made fantasy stamp of the time of the Belgium Congo . |

madres - unfamiliar stuff. The green stamp on upper right has a very Egyptian look to it, I would suggest some kind of revenue/fiscal stamp from Egypt? |
