The one-cent Franklin is most likely Scott #24. Would need to see a better image to confirm this. Scott #24 is valued at about $40 in problem-free condition, but your stamp has some bends and perforation damage that would reduce that value by more than 50 percent. If it is one of the other one-cent design variations (Scott #18 through #23), it would be worth much more.
I didn't look up the other two stamps, but it's safe to say they are very common and have no value due to significant damage.
powerleg5 to SCF It's nice to have you join in with us in this great hobby. Like the two responses you got above. I'll add my two cents. Not to be mean but truthful. The first stamp in your picture needs a better scan to identify because there are three or four that look closely alike. A black background works best. The other two stamps you have are worthless. First they are common stamps among collectors and second both are badly damaged. Any tear or cut, unless a stamp is extremely old or rare, ruins a stamp and renders it worthless. Even if the perforations are cut or missing unless in extreme cases. Usually age ruins any value of a stamp. That is why stamp collectors handle stamps delicately with Stamp Tongs not their fingers or tweezers. Again Welcome to SCF.
Thanks Jack, I'm back home from the Camping Season now. We got home Tuesday. I have our trailer freezable's all emptied out and the trailer is winterized. We spent 115 days camping this year. Now it's time to finish cleaning out my wood stove and pick up leaves. I've done the leaves in our yard Twice all ready. It usually takes me three times mowing the lawn with the three bagger to get all the leaves up. It won't be much longer and it will be time to put away the yard decorations and Patio furniture for the winter and start putting out Christmas yard Decorations. I try to do it in November when we get a sunny day. There aren't many warm days in November in Northern Michigan. I'm anxious to get stampy again but I have a few things outside to do yet before I get involved in stamps. I've missed everybody and have some catching up to do. Sorry to ramble on. I hope I haven't bored you too much. Chuck
