Being very new to stamps I dont have many reference materials, in fact only two catalogues which simply cover Australian Commonwealth stamps from 1913 onwards.

These 5 stamps were amongst my great grandmothers collection. Seeing as there is individual states names on the stamps I gather that pre federation individual states issued their own stamps? Maybe someone could give some more information regarding these stamps or at least point me in the direction of a source.

Not that I would consider selling these at all I would like to know their approximate values.

Thanks!

T95 15c
T32 20c
T8 30c (I have about 3000 of these :)
T7 30c
T13 $2

I may have a circa 1990 catalogue
that covers these, if you wish to offer postage.

However, If you are stateside, probably better to stay with one
cataloguing regime like Scott.



Ooops

Join a stamp club enworb,
out of date cataolgues are practically given away
you'll get one circa $5

I hadnt thought about attending a club. I've just googled and found one that meets in the suburb next to me. Might have to give it a go but they dont meet for another 3 weeks.

Pinnaroo is where a lot of pistachio nuts are grown. My favourite

Yay!
3 weeks will fly by.

You'll have lots of fun, surrounded by stamp nerds
just like ourselves.
Stamp collectors are nice people in the main.
They like new members, just make people there aware
you are looking for a catalogue.
Probably Stanley Gibbons is your best bet.

Let us know how you go.
