Thank you all. That's what I hoped that some of these stamps would be not just common. As said I don't collect these countries and so don't have a catalogue. The internet sites with stamp information are not detailed enough but I don't want to buy a specialized catalogue for these countries for one or two stamps in question. So it's great to have this forum for such questions.

Nice to hear about the Luxembourg, Belgian and Danish stamp. I will make a special page in my album for those interesting stamps from other countries. So I am still glad to read anything else about the other ones, like the Baltic stamps or the Greek.

The Baltic and Greek stuff is pretty common, and the Baltic stamos were extensively forged for the packet trade. Which doesn't make them uninteresting, of course. I'd rather have these than any amount of pictures of Washington and Franklin myself!

Thank you again. Well, all these stamps were in our old album, at least they are old (album is from 1920s without any stamps added after that time). So if they are forgery, they are old forgery :).

Yes, from the design perspective those are more interesting than the old US stamps, but from the printing history these are interesting as well. I don't have enough time to become a "world collector", so I look at what we already have, and improve only the old US collection. Most of all the other stuff we have from other countries is really very common and incomplete.

So just the Australian and the French stamps are remaining for opinions, but as we have some members from these countries here and the stamps didn't "wow" them, I guess they are common as well?

The French offices in the Levant stamp is pretty common, the French offices in China overprint less so. The Louis Napoleon is common, and this one has been mangled a bit!

thank you and all again. Now I know that in nearly all photos there are interesting or rare stamps, and I will just keep them. It's good to know of the ones where I should do further investigation.
