09 is an obligatory tax stamp of Ecuador, SG 548 of 1937, minimal CV.

I have several like 13 which came in a Greece country pack. My guess
is that "Ell. Gram." at the bottom means Tele ("Electro-"?) gram.

No. 15 is a Danish local too (town of Horsens) - 18 is a Bavarian one
(Munic). 11, 14 and 16 looks like Turkish fiscals.

I believe that "ell." is short for "ellinik-ós, -í, -ó" (Greek, adjective)
and "gram." is short for "grámma" (letter) although I have seen Greek
fiscals with "Eps.", short for "epístoli" (letter). None in my collection
to provide scan, I regret.

Saint Anthony's Guide (St Anthony is patron of letter carriers. and,
I believe, stamp collectors)

Safe mail delivery: A custom has been handed down of marking
the letters "S.A.G." somewhere on a letter or package. These
initials stand for "St. Saint Anthony Guide". This prayer dates to
an incident in July 1729 in Spain. A merchant's wife, in need of
support from her husband on business in Peru placed a letter to
him in the sleeve of St. Anthony's statue in her parish church,
trusting he would somehow deliver it.

Returning to the statue the next day, she found not her own letter
but one from her husband, Don Antonio. Lodger in the sleeve was
a heavy pouch containing 300 pesos, also sent by him. The
merchant advised his wife that a letter from her had been delivered
"by a friar of the Order of St. Francis." Don Antonio was sending
his reply through the same friar. To this day, the merchant's letter
is preserved in the church at Oviedo.

This story led to the custom of placing "S.A.G." on mail and praying
that St. Anthony give it safe passage.

St. Anthony's Guild offers packets of stamps imprinted with S.A.G.
and pictures of the Saint. To request the stamps, write:

Not sure if you are referring to this postcard Blair,
It is the genesis of the stamp/label I have I believe.

Hi Rod:

Thje series I had in mind is inscribed "La Belle France" at the top.
There are also labels for MAROC (Morocco) and ALGERIE (Algeria).
There are dozens of designs and each design exists in at least 4
colours.
There also are overprints for : anti-cancer campaign ans social works.

I am sure that there are a number of similar series.

Here are a brief sampling:

Yes, I think you are right, the Witt souvenir
says the "stamps" contain data about the Eiffel tower.

Interesting to see the label on France Pontalier,
and we can see the Roman influence of the "Triumphal Arch"
reminded me of a Postcard I had from Letizia recently from Bologna.
