I found these in a Scott Int'l. Junior Stamp Album Copyright 1933 Blue Tooled Cover..Is there any value here? Also I'd be interested in what year they are from. Thanks
According to a little snippet on an Italian website, the first TB charity stamp was used 'between the wars', maybe the second one too.
If I'm reading the date correctly, this cover shows the date April ( or September) 1919. The inscription Anno XII E-F, may indicate 1913 but this is may refer to something else:
If I've mangled the date, I'm sure I'll be corrected.
That CDS date doesn't make sense to me either, more so that the envelope has a telephone number on it (1919?).
I have found two of these labels on Delcampe from an Italian seller. These are listed as being from 1935, which fits in with what Antonius has just posted.
the top seal is from 1934, and, according to Green's, is Italy 4.1x, with the letter determined by the color scheme (a through j replacing X). My 1983 edition (the most recent) values each at 50c. There were subsequent printings with similar values, and they are listed as 4.2- 4.4
the second seal is Italy 5, valued at 75c. Clive's cover, with its tied, in-period seal, will command several multiples of that price.

the inscription refers to this range of dates within the Fascist era:
