I'm in the process of getting a very old home ready for an estate auction and I found this. It's FULL of stamps from all over the world! It's nowhere near full, but there are several hundred stamps inside. There are a ton of old US Stamps from the 1800s-1930s as well as postage due stamps, air mail, etc. I don't collect stamps, but from what I can gather from the interwebnet there is some value here. I need to find someone locally who knows what they're doing to help me along I guess. Here is a sampling....

This is probably a child's collection. I haven't seen anything over 25 cents yet, and the overall condition is very spotty.

The book is from 1924. Hopefully I posted this in the correct area of the forum. Is this collection more valuable as a whole, or sold separately? I don't know where to even start with this thing. A little overwhelming for me.

Show us (or show me) the Confederate money, that's much more promising. I can at least give you the Criswell numbers, then you can look up recent sales on ebay.
