Whose stamps are these? Well actually they're mine. What I meant is can you identify what country they are from. Since a lot of us are now house bound presumably with time to spare, we can still enjoy our hobby by searching catalogues and the internet to solve identity of stamps such as these. Enjoy.

Nice challenge Ron. I believe the lower two on the right are early issues from Russia.

I see the some such stamps are called Finland Russia. From what I see Finland was part of Russia from 1809 to 1917. Can you find these in Scott catalog? just wondering if would be under Finland or Russia?

It appears that although I saw Mapka relating to Finnish currency. I also see something that says "ПOЧTOBAЯ MAPKA" means "postage stamp" . The joys of internet research.....

Bottom left is a Swiss hotel stamp. According to my catalog, it dates from 1880. From Wikipedia "In the 19th century, some hotels in remote areas that were not serviced by the Swiss Post Office offered a service to guests of carrying their mail to the nearest official post office for a fee paid by the purchase of a specially printed stamp. The first hotel stamp was issued by Rigi Kaltbad in 1864, followed by hotels at Rigi Scheideck, Belalp, Kurort Stoos, Maderanerthal and Rigi Kulm. These services became unnecessary as the Swiss railway was extended and a normal postal service introduced. After 20 September 1883, all remaining services were prohibited by the Swiss government."
