Hello! I scanned the german stamps from my stamp album, I think most of them are pre-1940, but some are maybe after 1940s.

All are from pre-1930. I doubt there's anything of value there, but there are some used German stamps from this era that are worth a little if (and that's a key "if") they are genuinely postally used. I don't have my catalogue in front of me to see if any of yours would fit that description, but that still often depends on the watermark as well. If I were you, I'd just work under the pretty safe assumption that any monetary value is very minimal and just enjoy them for the little pieces of history they are.

Hi txb98

Some of the stamps you have scanned are from Bavaria (Bayern), at the time a German state and Austria (Osterreich).

Most are common and of minimal value, but, as stated previously by the ArtfulHinger, some 'might' be a few dollars here and there. Condition is the be all and end all in any given hobby and stamps are no exception. Also, on some of your stamps, the value would have to be determined by the watermark on the backs as well.

Hope this helps?

ArtFulHinger & Bujutsu: thank you very much! I dont think they worth that much but it's interresting just to look at them closely, and most of them were collected by my grandfather, so it's a kind of family history through them :) Thanks for your support!

I added a French stamps picture:

I see a few that are pretty desirable but not that valuable. That used 400 Deutsch Reich stamp is one of the ones I'm referring to. They get had to find legitimately used for whatever reason? Neat stuff! I'd love to have every one of them! Keep 'em comming!
