Thanks again for all your help, I have a French unused stamp with writing on it and some Canadian back of book stamps.
Any Scott catalog/values if possible, thanks!

I am not an expert in this field, but I believe only the war tax stamp is a postage stamp, and the others are revenue stamps of one kind and another. The standard Scott catalog does not have the revenues.

All the Canadian customs, Inland Revenue war tax and excise stamps were never produced for use as postage on mail.

Numbers and values can be obtained in The Canada Revenue Stamp Catalogue by E.SJ. Van Dam publised by Unitrade.

It amazes me how such old beautiful stamps have such little monetary value. I guess the value can also be in the beauty.
