I have started to get my stamps into  stock sheets (lighthouse sheets I think) and theres a few countries I cant find in the Scotts catalog. I found Chad, Gibralter, and Mauritanie out of the countries lost on the envelopes pictured below.  Any suggestions on finding them.  Thanks for helping.

Bulgaria, Greece, Dahomey (may be under Benin), Albania, Austria/Bosnia, Travancore (may be under Indian States). "Communicaciones" is probably a Cuban stamp. "Chiffre" is a French area postage due. Then Lithuania, South Africa. Mozambique. "Franco Bollo" is Italian. "Secours" is war charity (French), Croatia, Estonia, Siam/Thailand. "Collis" is parcel pist (French). Surinam(e), United Arab Republic (Egypt or Syria), Yemen Arab Republic. Macao/Macau. Gibraltar. Mauritania. "Haute" means high or upper. Indore under Indian States. Saar. Saxony.

You need to look harder!

GeoffHa, I spent awhile trying to figure them out. When I could not determine them, that's when I asked. Im sure you asked questions when you didn't know or couldn't figure something out.

Ireland2018: if you are near a library that has copies of the Scott stamp catalogues, you should be able to find many of these in their stamp identifier section.

I did get a set, but somehow probably overlooked them or didn't look on the right ones for the country.
