Some kind of Yugoslavian cinderellas I assume, based on the fact that most names have a Yugoslavian connection: Triglav, Rijeka, Titograd etc.
Drzava means state so that doesn't make any sense to me.

Probably not much help but the Triglav was a Yugoslavian freighter sunk July 9, 1942 by the U66.
The Zadar sunk 17/9/1944 by explosion. Rijeka appears to have been a minesweeper.
Maybe the stamps were for a veterans association or issued in memory at sometime, may have only been semi-postal.

They kinda look like the labels applied to boxes of matches - seen a lot of similar labels especially Eastern Europe.

@ Jansimon, I was reading that as Drvaca, which seems to come up on google as associated with trees? Not that it seems to be a currency anywhere, nearest I can find is this reference on Wikipedia "DivaÄa is a large nucleated village in the Littoral region of Slovenia, near the Italian border. It is the seat of the Municipality of DivaÄa."
Quite a puzzle,

@Copy55555, that sort of makes sense of the trees reference, 50 Matches?

Vic, you are correct. I should not post messages from the tiny screen of a smartphone 
50 matches could be a good translation.

Oh I like them. Makes me want to start collecting them as well. Nooooo I collect too much and craft too much to add more to my expenses. Can't afford more collections. hehehe!

Spent about three hours trying to find these stamps in Scott catalog, and I hate to admit, but I am stumped. Google said Serbia or Bosnia & Herzegovina, but nothing there.
