This page of stamps was in a lot of stamps I got recently. This entire group of stamps cost 50 cents back whenever. Unfortunately some are stuck together from humidity and age, but the bottom row of Russian stamps really caught my eye. The stamps visually appear almost 3D. They are quite striking.

The Russian stamps should be listed under "White Russia". If I remember right they were never issued.

Thanks. This picture doesn't do them justice. They are almost iridescent.

I remember these well. They have a metalic ink...I think. Correct?

CORRECTION
NOT White Russia, Russian Semi-Postal listed with "B" prefix.
Went and dusted off my 1990 Vol 4(the last one I have with Russia in it). My White Russia answer just didn't sit right with me. I didn't want you to go crazy looking.

They're 1914 War Charity stamps, listed as 143-154 in SG (Russia 1999) depending on perf.

I'd suggest checking!

Perf 11.5 - £3.75
Perf 12.5 - £14.75
Perf 13.5 - £49.20

It looks like termites worked on the page below the top row of Thailand stamps!

That would probably be from silverfish.
