- These stamps were stuck across the join of theatre tickets with the stub, at the box office. On payment ticket and stub with stamp given to customer. On handing the ticket to the usherette it was torn across the stamp, the stub with half stamp was placed on a string using a large needle. The ticket with half stamp was given to customer. The retained stubs were later counted and compared with number of stamps and tickets issued for the performance and an account produced with appropriate general purpose tax stamp and a return made to the taxing authorities.

A 50-kopeck soviet stamp issued by some "Consumer society" ("Potrebitelskoye Obschestvo") Image not clear enough to see other inscriptions, I think something to do with some companies ("T-ba" is abbreviated "Tovarischestva", or "Comradships," similar to current LLC or Partnerships)

Value: This is a cut of a Finnish stationary cover from year 1850, when Finland was a part of the Russian Grand Duchy. The value marking was printed on cover. Five different papers were used. This printing is identified by the vertical oval; issue 1856 was horizontal. The 1850 printing consisted of three values: 5 kopek blue, 10 kopek red and 20 kopek black. These covers were used in Finland and Russia before stamps, which were issued in March 1856. Cancellation with ink was normal, and date marking (if any) was put elsewhere on cover.
----
Seams that this has been sent from Finland. Finland is bilingual country (Finnish and Swedish) and in this stamp Swedish is written (which was more common in those days). Symbols of Finnish post (which was founded already 300 years ago during Swedish era)horns can been seen well. As I can see Lion of Finland (symbol as well) can been seen). Also old symbol which is used even now a days. ABSīs are latin. Finland got later itīs own currency (markka, mark) even it was part of Russia until 1917. We also got our own stamps because we were Autonomic. In Russia they didn'tīt use this kind of stamps. So...this is not a Russian stamp even value is mentioned in Russian currency.

Appears to be overstamp of sovnarkom (Council of People's Deputies) which was official title of Soviet government. Therefore some sort of "official" stampoverprint:
Sov.(iet) Nar.(odnykh) Kom.(missarov) abbreviation means Council of People's Commissars. Sovnarkom was the first soviet gouvernment and therefore this overprint makes otherwise tsarist stamp a legitimate soviet gouvernment's one. Denomination - 3 kop(ecks). Top banner reads "pochtovaya marka" - postal stamp.

Additional info:
- The stamp reads "Turkestan" referring to one of the old provinces in the south of Russia. The name was dropped due to its similarity with Turkey

- This is from a 1923-1924 set of fantasy stamps printed in either Paris or Italy. Other values include 1, 2, 5, 25 and 50 kopeks. Stamps exist in two varieties of perforation, 11.5 and 14.5, as well as imperforated. The imperf stamps can be found with a purple overprint "Rub" (Ruble). Another overprint (5 lines) shows the acronym VTKP (Vostochno-Turkestanskoye Kraevoe Pravitel'stvo) East Turkestan Regional Government, supposedly applied by the White Army units of General Sychov. The rest of the overprint says: "Zarja osvobozhdenija Rossii, 1924" (The dawn of Russia's liberation). Some of these stamps have been cancelled with a fantasy circular Russian language cancellation: "Field Post in Turkestan, White Army" (Information translated from the Russian "Filatelija" magazine.)

1.) This is a pair of one kopek stamp (russian type)used in Finland. Finland copied the same stamp but values in penni and mark in 1911.

2.)
This stamp is absolutely not Finnish stamp. The currency of this stamp is Russian (kop). Although this model of stamps was allowed to be used in Finland, they were Russian, not Finnish stamps. Under word "Franco" one can see overprint "25". This stamp has NEVER been used in Finland with changed value. This could be Don Government's Rostov issue in South Russia in 1918. This "Franco" may also be an overprint. Of its origin I have no idea except it almost certainly has nothing to do with Finland.

"Polish Military Post" and more specifically as "Polish Corps in Russia, 1918". The overprint comes about for the following reason, and I quote from S.G. Pt 10 "Russia" (1999)5th Ed. "In 1917 Poles serving in the Russian Army were transfered into Polish units so that an autonomous Polish army could be organized. The Polish First corps was formed on 21 August 1917. By January 1918 the corps was based at Bobruisk, virtually surrounded by German troops. An agreement with the Germans in February 1918 established an area of 'Polish occupation', and the forwarding of Polish mail to Warsaw by the German field post Post Offices operated from 1 April to 29 June 1918, after which the corps was disbanded". The stamp on the left can be identified, according to S.G., as type 22, listed as M13 - 35k on 1k orange. Your example is imperf. although perforated examples are also known, but much more valuable. The surcharge is also known to appear inverted on the perforated variety of this stamp. Both imperf. and perforated stamps have no watermark.
