Could somebody please identify the left 5 Sen one?

What were the "Officially sealed" US stamp used for?

Hi
The 3 sen image is too small for positive catalogue number
identification but it looks like a Japanese documentary revenue, maybe
1874 issue.

The "offficially sealed" stamps were used to reseal envelopes and
to repair damaged ones before they started using the current plastic
bags
