Victoria And Son Edward VII Any Clue??????

plzzz help me what its worth??

Hi,

Looks like you have a nice little collection of Victoria stamps from Great Britain/United Kingdom.

Looks like most of them are from the Victorian Jubilee series.

The value of stamps are closely tied to their condition, and some of these have condition issues.

Stamp 1 - Toning or dirt on upper perfs and badly abraded.
Stamp 2 - Toning or dirt all around the edge of the stamp, on the perforations.
Stamp 3 - Toning on right perforations of stamp.
Stamp 4 - Some nibbled (missing) perforation nibs, and it looks the the stamp is wrinkled. There is a possible small tear in the middle of the bottom edge.
Stamp 5 - Poor centering, toned or dirty perfs.
Stamp 6 - Badly wrinkled, toned perfs.
Stamp 7 - Some toning and some perfs cut off with scissors.
Stamp 8 - Poor centering, otherwise ok I think.
Stamp 9 - Nibbled (missing) perforation nibs. Toning.
Stamp 10 - Some toning and heavy parcel cancel.

These condition issues preclude there being much of monetary value to these stamps.

I would be interested to learn how these stamps are mounted.

These stamps are still wonderful pieces of history and the cancellations are fascinating, and make for a sort of mystery to investigate. The last stamp has a rubber parcel cancel with the name of the twon in the middle. I am at a loss to detemine, on sight, what that town name might be. Perhaps someone else could help you with that.

You have added stamps and changed the order. My commentary wont make as much sense now . . .

1-10 are still in order....added after 10

If you are looking for the value then I'd have to say minimal. As Smauggie mentioned, the condition of most is poor and they are readily available for a few dollars in good condition. These Stamp were issued and printed in the Millions so supply is plentiful.

these stamps where in a trunk for 60-70 years..........diary was to be thrown...there are lot more stamp.....

gimme me ur email id.......i'll mail you all...if you find anything rare tell me

No emails ALi, not allowed yet. But post away your pics [GB] here and we will jump at them for comments and values.

Good luck.

Ali,
Your EdwardVII 1d scarlet is worth 217.362 INR, as it is 'on a piece'.
Was this the sort of answer you was looking for?

Your Queen Victoria Halfpenny deep green is worth 1,911.85 INR if the envelope is still intact.

Ali, to save you the trouble of scanning unnecessary items, condition is everything in Stamps. If it has a piece missing or a tear then it is basically worthless. If it has a bunch of missing perforations, creases, etc then the value is greatly reduced. Catalog value means nothing for a stamp with a big piece of it missing. Also, if you want the best information then instead of just adding more images to this thread, start a new thread. You are posting images from different countries under the QV thread heading which means if you post say a German stamp, our in house German experts might not look here since they might feel it's a thread about Stamps from Great Britain.

Ali,
Always nice to look at stamps. I think right now the main problem is, as mentioned above, how are the stamps attached to the album pages (looks like some kind of glue) and can they be removed easily?

The normal way to remove stamps is to soak them in some clean water and rinse a couple of times. However some of your KEVII stamps (4d green) I have learned recently myself, have inks that will run (aniline ink) and fade badly or change colour when soaked. The Queen Victoria stamps may have this problem also.

The glue attaching the stamps (applied liberally to their backs) to the page is the cause of the dirt or toning or moldy look around the edges I believe. Some glues used in India to affix postage to envelopes (the community glue pot) are notorious for not being able to be removed cleanly. (and I am not the expert on those at all).

You will have to experiment. Probably use some newer chemical like 'Stamp Lift' to remove the older chemical (glue) and then clean the stamp carefully.

If the stamps can be removed and also cleaned the value incraeses tremendously, but it looks like a lot of extra work and effort on your part to get this done, especially with a whole book of would stamps.

One idea is to take pics of the ones you want looked at and put the pics on Photobucket or Flickr and then post a link to that site here. Any other web site linked to is not OK as you are new here but those would be OK I think.

I am not sure if any of these would have watermarks upside down or sideways to increase the value a lot?

And lastly, while the other members are correct in judging the value of those shown to be relatively worthless, some collectors, (if the stamps were cleaned up and off their pages) would be interested in a group of them, perhaps not at a big price but advertise on Delcampe.net or somewhere that people in Britain can see (or worldwide) and let them decide.

Good luck!

thank you guys......
