After my last post I was amazed that all of my unidentified stamps were identified by the community. Thought that I would try my luck again with my last 3 'unknowns'.
The top left looks like a john Bull effort! the lower item I think is Russian but I cannot find this one in Scott.
Any help gratefully received
Thanks
John

They are not in Scott because they aren't stamps. They are cut-outs of postal stationery,

Hi

The first stamp is an overprint from Iran (formerly Persia), the second one is an Indian state (Jhalawar) and I think it is Scott #2. The third is from Russia and is in Scott's and may be #131?

Hope this helps?

Thanks for the input.Most useful.
I do not believe that any of these 3 are cutouts.
Bujutsu has done an excellent job in identifying the potential items.
There is no doubt in my mind now that the 2nd stamp is Jhalawar. It is on vertical laid paper and I am sure that it is SG 2.
The other two I still have some concerns over. The Persia/Iran item looks at first sight to be Sc 235, however the picture in Scott (A25)shows the stamp to have some kind of criss cross design over the whole stamp. My stamp does not have this. In some ways this is similar for the Russian item which has been identified as Sc 131.
However reference to picture A9 shows that this stamp should be covered in criss cross lines which this does not have. Perhaps this is 131f. The item with missing groundwork. It has gum on the rear.
If anyone can throw further light on the Russian and Iran stamps I would be most grateful
