I found these stamps in an old collection USA in the Netherlands. Can anyone advise me on their authenticity?

Hi Diederik, and welcome to the forum. These have been faked extensively, but is hard to tell from your picture if they are real or not. Is there any way you can scan these, one at the time and a bit larger?

The Confederates are certainly not genuine.

Just like your lawn, weeds tend to grow in the same place. (Album weeds = fake/forgeries).

But here are some links to learn more

The Hawaiian numeral stamps are all fake. A good rule to go by is: none of the numeral stamps have borders where all four corners meet up.

My guess is that they are fake too. It is really hard to tell from the photos. The blue looks fake to me,but the photo is not sharp enough for me to be sure. Go to the sites Don recommended. I use the first one a lot.

here is the page for the red stamp:

and here is the one with the blue stamp:
