I came across these stamps in my late father's collection. Can anyone identify them and do they have any value? Thanks.

The 20c black may have some value but everything else is minimal value. There is a mix of 19th century and some from 1940's (republique shown in full ).

Thanks Anthony. Does the 20c black have varieties? If so, where would I find the info? Thanks so much.

There are around 10 varieties of shade and paper ranging in price from €500-5000 but yours looks to be at the low end from the small scan and I am assuming it is unused. Used, the price is about 1/10 of unused but real world prices much less.
I bought a very nice used example recently for under €10

Anthony, sorry to further bother you but if I were to put the 20c Black on ebay should I just say that I don't know the variety and provide a plethora of close-ups so the buyer can decide for themselves? Again, thank you.

Please post a close-up scan of both the front and back. It appears to be Black on white paper.
A lot of people do what you suggested on ebay but it may not get the best return.
You could wait until you have 50 posts and offer it here

Anthony, I now have 40 more posts to go before I can offer any stamps here. What are the differences between selling here and on ebay?

As far I can see, the 20c black is not genuine. It even doesn't look like a vintage reprint. Sorry for that. And the other stamps are either too damaged or too well known :-(
