Need a little help here. Digging through my Mexican stamps I found the four pictured. 1894-1895 Replubica Mexicana Talon Centavo(s), my guess is some sort of tax or revenue stamp.

Any thoughts?

Yes, they are tabs/counterfoils that go with some revenues. They are detached from the basic stamp which I believe was supposed to be done but not always.

Not the same issue but this demonstrates what the whole would look like. Also marked "talon" here:

hy-brasil, thanks. Found the stamp in the Forbin-Fiscals-1915 catalog. I beleive that it's in french and says "double serrated stamp in the center"
But I'm still at a loss to identify the stamps. There are numbers associated with the entry, but I'm not able to tell any more.

You have go the right ones, numbers 117-120. No further detail about them. Note that Mexican stamps of this time often have handstamps of states used as a control. The 2c here has "LA PAZ", the 5c nothing I can see, the 1c and 10c have "DISTRITO FEDERALE" (Federal District) which is the zone around Mexico City like the District of Columbia in the US.

They are complete; "dentelé" is also "perforated". That's so badly done between the parts that I thought the whole thing might be just the talon of something bigger, but the perfs are there.

Thanks again, it's just very interesting. I'm surprised that there isn't more information available somewhere.

And Thanks for calling out the hand stamp on the 2c stamp, I would have never noticed that it said La Paz.
