Hi all I have looked everywhere to try and identify these stamps. Can anyone also explain the cross and what it means? Thank you     |

Often that cross is used in connection with anti tuberculosis work. However it may have also other meanings in France.
Your second stamp says Liége - Luik. That is a town in Belgium (with bilingual name, both French and Famish [=Dutch]) I would take that to be a label from Belgium.
These are Cinderellas. That means they pay no postage. |

The first one is also a Belgian cinderella, being written in French and Flemish languages, with a statue showing a barrel-maker and the name of the craft in both languages.
The third item, looks as a French 1930's pro-tuberculose cinderella. |

Thank you for your help.
Very much appreciated.
Is there a catalogue or similar that would enable me to identify with dates?

Thank you
Can you advise your thoughts on the cross circled and otherwise?

Those "La Belle France" labels were not issued to fight tuberculosis and I had never seen before the cross of Lorraine on one of them.
Maybe a home-made overprint. |

Thanks for your reply.
Now I understand why I can't find anything.
I have spent days searching the internet and zip (nothing) except I have come across the symbol on many Belgium stamps.
But none had the circle around the cross and most were red.
That left the black overprint which seemed odd |

Thanks
I really appreciate your comments
Interesting but doesn't explain circled and non circled cross of Lorraine
Surely , somewhere this can be identified meaningfully |
