Bought these at a small market
Mostly are Mao era stamps and a few much older.
Would appreciate any insight on these stamps.
They are under class, hence the glare.

I cannot find the others - I would need to examine them more closely. I do not know the significance of the postmarks only to say they are not "First Day Issue" cancellations. - Also, it seems you are not showing the complete item.
Picture#3 - (center one) - China (Mainland) Scott catalog# 784 ($5000 yuan) - issued March of 1948 - book value "unused" 50¢, used $1.00 - yours looks to be unused "uncanceled"
Picture#4 (top right side) - China (Mainland) Scott# 1346 (8 fen) - issued July 1977 - book value used 35¢
