I recently acquired an old estate of stamps and in a small old stockbook were 40 or so Eastern Rumelia overprinted Turkish stamps to the 5 Piastre. It is far from my field of expertise but after some research I believe that at least a few are Fournier forgeries. Do these have any value as such?
According to Fournier's price list he sold only three different RUMELIA stamps .You need to show what you got,my guess it is some later date overprint forgery on Turkish stamps .
There's lots of these for sale on ebay at any given moment. Most are just crude fakes. There's a solid group of Fournier collectors out there as well that will snap them up. Not an area I focus on, but from lots of casual observation, they typically sell in the $5-$10 range. (This is for all of them - without distinguishing between normal forgeries & Fournier...)
