Unfortunately there is little monetary value there. Some of the stamps would have had a chance at being mildly better but the overall condition is very poor.

I had a stamp collection that was similar to yours in that it was old and in poor condition like the one you have shown. I also found out that my stamps were pretty worthless, yours look a bit nicer to me than the ones I had, but I did not give up on them. I would encourage you to try and save your stamps and put them in a better album - now I am a greenhorn, just got here 2 months ago, but I am working on preserving the stamps I h ad in my inherited album - I have learned a ton about stamps, stamp collecting is a very interesting and relaxing hobby in my opinion. I am trying to encourage you to jump in, the water here is fine!

You have some nice stamps there.
Especially some Postmarks that may be interesting.

Your Australia lot estimate $20 -$40 perhaps.
Some of those I'd like to get my hands on.....

If you list on ebay, please let me know.

Hi,

I would check the 40 Pfg Michel Nr.60.

Maybe a flaw from the black plate.

Regards

Hornet

There are some quite useful stamps here. I would get them off paper and out of that album, as I suspect the paper in the pages is not acid-free.

I'm seeing a nice start to a classic World Wide collection here. There are several interesting items that aren't all that common, though not necessarily valuable.

The album pages are deteriorating and in dire need of replacement as they may be damaging the stamps.

Were I you, I'd invest in some stock sheets. Working one page at a time, you could soak the stamps off of the old album pages, carefully press them flat as they dry, then move them to stock sheets once dried and pressed. Those stamps will look a lot better after a soak and press, and the stock sheets will afford you convenient and safe storage for them.
