Hi

In the collection of stamps, which have been boxed away for the past 50 years, I found these two. I've heard complete differing values, depending on condition and where you look. Any thoughts on these?

The Bergdorf stamp is interesting but potentially a reprint with fake cancel. Had it been on cover then it might have been worth a lot but used and off cover is dubious.

Like the Baden you posted in another thread, these are of very poor quality.

You can look into if they're genuine or not here:

They are currently in an album, which contains many stamps from the 1850s, and 1860s. My ancestor was a stamp dealer and tabaconist, and hence the have been boxed away since he retired in the 1960s.
