Anything Worthwhile Here? Great Britain

Picked up an old Scott Junior International album last week that had some pretty nice US stuff in it. These are the GB stamps I pulled out of it. Lacking any worldwide catalogs to look these up, I'm wondering if there's anything good in here or is this just common stuff?

thanks for any tips

Those last two lines on your page need to be examined in person because fake copies are to difficult to tell from a scan of those officials .Nice if they are real. Also a expert need to check all those cancels even on the many damaged stamps .

Just had a quick look and for a starter : the TWO SHILLING blue stamp on the top row has a catalog value of between £200 up to £14,000 depending on plate number. As always, condition is all important and catalog value is not realistic valuation so expect 20% of that.
That Edward vii ONE SHILLING stamp is also a decent stamp in that it has good color... many have a washed appearance due to soaking.

All your stamps have value dependent on watermark and condition so you could examine them for those.

I agree with the others. The last two rows of officials, and the 1/- and 2/- issues, are your money items, if determined to be genuine, but the OFFICIALS and PARCELS overprints are widely faked. Everything else looks commonplace.

Thanks guys. This album stopped in about 1930 as far as anyone putting stamps in it. Were those stamps getting faked before that?

There was some pretty nice US stuff in the album so I wouldn't be surprised if some of the WW stuff was good too.

Are there any tips to help figure out if the officials are genuine?
Is it like the Kans/Nebr US stamps where you'd see typewriter marks?

thanks

All of the official stamps look genuine. The Government Parcels stamps would each be worth double digit or more UK pounds if the condition is nice.
Most of your stamps are worthy of more research regarding watermarks and plate numbering etc but as most would not be regarded as Fine Used then expect the lower end of any estimate.

As you can see... Catalog Value is not really applicable in most cases.



Edit to add Scott numbering...from left to right
Scott #68, 49, 51, 64, 55, 67

You asked about the typewriter vs. the KANS. NEBR. overprints. They was printed on-top of the design so the easiest way to tell is to just simply flip it over and have a look! I think you would quickly see if the suspect overprints was "hammered" on via typewriter mechanism...and, well I assume with good assurance that you well know how a typewriter works...lol Beware though, some of the higher value ones could have been pressed out but I think you would still see the rise in the paper if you held it at an oblique angle to a light source.

Thanks guys - no intention of selling anything. Guess I'll just put them on my GB Steiner pages with the rest of the stuff I've accumulated over the years
