Hello! Finally I found a forum where I can ask about some of my unidentified stamps! I would be very grateful for any help. First of all I am interested in the year (so I know where to put their in album). Thank you!

There are thousands upon thousands of poster stamps and welfare/charity stamps, and I doubt a pre-printed album exists. Even limiting one to Austria and Austria-adjacent issues would be a massive undertaking.

You can guess at the era of some of them, based on the messages. Otherwise, I think you're stuck with Google searches for matches?

Perhaps someone will be along shortly with a link to a catalogue...

Yes...
I searched both by pictures and by text. Only two stamps from the picture above were found, but there were no years of issue. And the rest were not found at all :(

I was able to identify a few more stamps from the image:
"Reichsverein fur kinderschutz" - 1910
"Alldeutsche Presse Heil Alldeutschland" - 1908-1910


These stamps are on the internet, but nowhere is even the approximate year of production indicated:
"Tirol Offizielle Kriegsfursorge" - ?
"Deutsches universitats studentenheim in Wien" - ?
"Verein F Das Deutschtum im Ausland" - wiki said 1908 or 1955?..

And..
"Einheitsverband der kriegsopfer ostermekis Kriegsopferdank"! - I can't find it at all! Neither by the picture nor by the text...

If picking between 1908 and 1955, I would definitely go with 1908. That is squarely within the golden age of poster stamps, and the topic was a common one in that era.

Regarding the Einheitsverband stamp, that soldier looks like he is wearing a M1915 field cap, worn by Austrians in World War I, so I think you can date it to the middle teens of the 20th century.

If we have a militaria expert here who can correct my i.d. of the cap, by all means, speak up.

Here's a link to the vignette top left:
https://sammlung.mak.at/de/collect/...lsbad_278455

(Many colors exist on all labels)
This stuff seems to be propaganda labels of Germany/Austria when WWI started to go south for them. So around 1916 to 1920 for the stuff.

This auction site, Old Louis, sells thousands of Cinderella/poster/charity stamps and the results are searchable. I have linked the search results main page for Cinderellas. On that page you can filter by Country etc. It will take work, but you may find some answers.

Thank you all for your help, while some stamps still remain unidentified, I will add three more obscure stamps to this post. Poland (?), China, Hong Kong. Maybe there are specialists in this area here? :)

These last few could be from a coat check, cigar, etc.

You should be able to use Google Translate to help with this.
Deutsches universitats studentenheim in Wien = German university student residence in Vienna

Yes, thank you. I have already translated all the text on the stamps and searched for these texts on the Internet. This did not help to determine the year of issue :)

Here are the Groszy overprints in your general format. You can see if one matches.

Then you might be able to see if they are typically found on selvages. I'd be surprised, but I don't know.

Maybe someone was playing around, or practicing? I doubt a stamp's ink faded away completely, leaving only the overprint, but I suppose that might be a possibility, too?

The first two, written in French, are from France. 1914-1917 (WWI)
The one written on Latin alphabet, loks from the Swedish-speaking area of the Russian Grand Duchy of Finland (1808-1917).

No clear idea about the others, though they look from the Russian Empire, between 1890-1918.
