Hi to all

The first two stamps are from Saudi Arabia pre 1934 and the last is from Hejaz, which issued its own stamps before it was annexed by Saudi Arabia.

Bottom row, is the first stamp Batum? and the Persian Provisional? when was it issued.
Any help with any of these appreciated.
They were in a packet of stamps from the local thrift shop and cost the princely sum of 0.50cents

Iran #422a, but very likely a forgery.

Hi to all
Apparently these stamps all came from a retired stamp dealers personal collection which he donated to the thrift shop.
All the really valuable ones, (from information received from other sources) where "taken" by a staff member, who realized that the pencil numbers under the stamps were catalogue values. Apparently there were some stamps worth a few thousands of dollars. The rest are being packed piecemeal into packets of about twenty and sold for 50c a packet. My wife is going to check the shop twice a week. who knows what will turn up
