Welcome to SCF. If you have a modicum of skill with computers and a scanner or camera, you could post images of stamps here for us to evaluate.

If you live in the USA, most local libraries have a complete set of stamp catalogs you can either borrow or use.

Perhaps there is a local stamp dealer who will be willing to evaluate it for you as well.

Have you ever considered collecting? It can be nice just to keep those you have inherited just to keep a piece of something someone cared about enough to leave to you.

If you intent on selling them you may just list them on ebay or find a collector in your area to look at them and possible pay you something for them. Many of the stamps people collect are of a common type. Although there could be a gem in there, if your lucky.

Good Luck!
