What do you think? Seems to be all Churchill stamps and fairly recent. A couple of Russian? ones towards the end.

skiny,
welcome to the group. Are you looking to start your own collection and build upon this one? I don't know much about non USA stamps, but those appear to be Cancel To Order (CTO) issues. Basically, the PO canceled them while still mint never used and sold them to collectors. I'm sure some of the others will chime in and correct me if I'm wrong.

I agree with the CTO diagnosis.

Welcome Skiny,
In my collection they live at:
Aden Protectorate~Kathiri State of Seiyun
No Russian stamps there.
They all attract a Stanley Gibbons number if you have a catalogue.

Hope you enjoy your time here.

Welcome Skinny. When you have time, be sure and go to the "Introduce Yourself" forum and post another message there. It gives everyone a chance to "meet" you.

Thanks for the replies :)

I'm not starting to collect or anything - just came across this one and thought I'd post it.

I assumed one of the last stamps was Russian as it uses the Cyrillic alphabet. 1895?

Yes you were correct Skiny,
Yugoslavia and Russia.

Your Russian (with thunderbolts)
