Hello bassplayer, and now for the bad news... The British stamps in the photos are almost all very low value George VI stamps, plus a few seem to be stained. There are a couple of George V stamps from the twenties or maybe a little earlier. They, too, are low value stamps. Sorry. Now if some of the Victoria had been filled in, then you would have a slightly different story. Of course it is possible that a rare variety could be lurking in the George VI stamps. There are some, but you would need a specialized catalog and a magnifier. They are a little obscure except to a stamp nut like me.

Even if you found one, you would then need to find someone who wanted it badly, in other words a stamp nut like me.

Welcome to the forum! They do all look like very common stamps, but look at them carefully as many of us got started in collecting just such stamps at first. Rather like a first guitar being a Sears or Ward's.
