I know these two are forgeries. Is there any value to them other than as space fillers?

Likely, no.

Keep them for reference, or trade them with someone who collects forgeries. Note that they are quite common.

bigmel222 - I would keep them as spacefillers until - and if - the real thing should 'pop up'. If nothing else, you'll get some more color on the pages

People here don't understand fakes and forgeries . Some fakes have value like your Basel Dove , they are valued between $1.00 to $40.00 depend on who made it .It is BASEL not BASIL.

thanks Blaamand and Floortrader. Color is definitely better than empty spaces.

I've updated my site with pages for Parma. +170 images and comparisons of genuine vs. forgeries.

The stamp in question is also covered. See: http://stampforgeries.com/forged-stamps-of-parma/

BIGME ----Had a reason to work on my Swiss forgeries today ,so I thought you would like to see a real study on Basel Dove forgeries ,these are all the different classic forgeries . Two or three of them cost me $30.00 or more I think the most was $55.00 ,so they have a value .
