I originally posted this group of stamps as George "goth".
I finally got around to attempting bringing them back to life.

First image is the original scan. Next is four of the stamps, after peroxide treatment and bath.
The APL canceled stamp, in the original scan, is tucked away elsewhere.

It looks to me like you did a good job with those.

I am a believer in peroxide for 3c stamps like these. When used properly, it does wonders towards restoring them.
