Having Trouble Identifying These

I believe bottom right is really South Africa but the others no clue

A couple seem to be Austria, but with the lousy picture it is hard to tell. The third one on the top row is Russia, and the left one on the bottom South Africa.

2 stamps have the word "Oesterr Post" on them, and the most easy one the word "Siam" , try it on Google.





It's very easy to tell, if you know Austrian stamps ; 5 kr red , it's 1890

Sorry I dont have a scanner.

Top to bottom, Left to Right.
Romania
Austria
Russia
Victoria (Australia) Postmarked Melbourne. Punctured "OS"=Official Service.
South Africa
Austria
Thailand

The first stamp is Austrian military post in occupied Romania ,BANI is a give away.The last stamp is SIAM or Thailand .

Danny, not having a scanner is no sin, but maybe you should not take a picture this way. Try less stamps at the same time - maybe that will make them less blurry?

Thanks guys for all of your help. there is no way I could sort all this without you. I've been blowing up google. Trying to find books but most are expensive. The library has some but it would take 10 years to read all of them. So all of your expertise is greatly appreciated. When I post pictures I will do so with less stamps to improve clarity. More to come as I still have thousands to sort most are used but some are unused. the latest stamps I have are 1945 and go back to the late 1800s. So who knows what I will find. I think I'm about to have a new hobby. Again Thanks.

While Peter's point is valid, a scanner is a very useful tool, especially if you are going to enjoy this interesting hobby. Relatively inexpensive good quality scanners with 4800 DPI capabilities are readily available on ebay for under 60 bucks.

In the meantime, your photos include a lot of wasted space, close cropping help increase pic size. For instance, this pic has 7 KB of extra background, around 6%. Your small Queens photo has 44% extra background.

Looks like you have a good start! Thank Grandad!

Fabulous, to the world of stamps Danny!




I guess free online catalogs is an easy way to get started, this site seems to be quite popular https://www.stampworld.com/en/
