Hello, I'm new to the forum. I acquired a large stamp collection and been going through them. I have a couple stamps for life of me can't identify. Any help would be greatly appreciated!  |

Welcome to Stamp Community Family, Ronm!
The left stamp can be found in the Scott catalog near the back of the Syria listings. It is Issues of the Arabian Government #85(1920). |

A reasonable guess, Mike! I believe "Halep" is actually the postmark for Aleppo? |

Cursus is correct that the right stamp is from Hungary. You will have to check the watermark and perforations, as there are several varieties. In the Scott catalog, possibilities include Hungary #25, 25a, 38, and 38a. |

Welcome Ronm! Please forgive my rudeness!
Sometimes I'm too straight forward... |

No apologies needed, Cursus! We ALL appreciate you pitching in to answer questions. You and Mike have both been valuable and helpful members over the years.
I know that in the past, I've replied to a question on a number of occasions and didn't notice it was a new member. |
