Went through another portion of the collection and found these German stamps. I've yet to ID them, but will probably purchase the Scott catalog covering Germany.

I like the SON cancel on #16.

#4 piques my interest; maybe not from Germany?

From #5, #13, and #36, #13's centering looks like the keeper. Out of curiosity, how would a stamp expert grade #13? Not considering getting this one grade, but could use a reference.

Opinions and comments welcome. Thanks for looking!

I think most of the non-cancelled are MNG however I do have more that I'll post soon that are MNH or MH using this specification https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mint_stamp . The above posted image features the loose stamps, but I'll post images for comparisons later when I get into the envelopes.

Jonathan, that is a bunch of easily identifiable stamps. Try http://stampworld.com and you can find almost all of them.

#4 and #16 are from Hungary.
#35 is Austria.
#37 could be German Democratic Republic, or Germany under Russian occupation.

@Peter @redwoodrandy Thanks! I ended up getting the Scott online guide.

@Trainwreck Thanks for the help!

Turns out the MNH I thought I had are used on the inside the envelopes do to moisture during storage…

Normally the MNH in the German inflation time (all those high "Mark" numbers) are worth nothing in opposite to the used ones :).

@stamperix I guess all my high mark MNG are worth less than nothing in comparison to the MNH I thought I had…
