Hi Jack After I asked my father, this album is from the 60's and the stamps are from lebanon. The album dont have specific subject,it is a mix of few subjects like you can see, soprt,animals,and lebanon classic stamps ,etc.. The stamps are in perfect condition. Attached a few photos, hope that the quality is good enough. Those are only samples, if you want to see more, let me know.    |

Nice stamps , first nothing is rare or expensive. But still nice stamps ,looks like some complete sets and some not sure if you just scanned parts of sets . I would tell you ,that you got a good start to continue the collection. |

There may be some financial value in the Saudi stamps, particularly the definitives, but these were issued in very extensive sets, with differences in the design and the cartouche. You'd need much clearer pictures for someone to give you a better idea of any worth. |

Superdsuer,
Nothing junps out to me as to rare or valuable stamps. They do, however, appear to be very well stored and have been left in an undamaged condition. Good job!

"Definitive" means the long-running, everyday issues of stamps - in this case, the group with pictures of aeroplanes, oil-wells etc. The "cartouche" is the symbol of the various Saudi kings at the upper right of these designs. |

Hello superuser2008,
The Lebanon stamps are very common from the 60's. If you have more about Lebanon, let me know. |

As I said above somewhere, the Saudi stamps are worth putting some time into. But you need to provide clear, close-up scans or, better still, work your way through a stamp catalogue from your library, if available. |
