The images are from just a few pages. I chose the US stamps because I figured they would be the most recognizable, but there are stamps from all over the world in this book. Any info or idea of value would be appreciated!

Thank you!

This looks much better than the garage sale finds we usually see, but precise identification of stamps and the condition of stamps make all the difference and your images are too small to give an opinion. If the other country sections also include 19th century material, you likely have value over $100 and it could be many hundreds. However, unless you are willing to take the time to scan (with a scanner, not a camera or smartphone) and post images of all pages, in-person inspection will be needed. Check out www.stamps.org and search for a local club or stamp dealer to see if someone is willing to assess this; they may charge a fee. It's a question of your time (scanning and posting images) versus someone else's (in-person inspection). And be aware that a stamp dealer may give an estimate in terms of wholesale purchase price, not retail sales price.

Morning and welcome to our hobby. Can you add an image or note about who published this album and its year of publication? How many pages, etc. These old albums are fascinating because the world has changed so much since they were made.

I'll upload some scans in the next few days! The album is about ~ 430 pages. The album hold stamps printed between years 1840 and 1890. I can't read the album because it is German, so I couldn't find much else out. That you all for the insight so far!

It may be an old album but the stamps are in Scott type mounts which obviously points to a much more modern compilation. Interested to see more.

Close ups of the 3 one cent Ben Franklin stamps that look the same would help. I can't tell the type but some of these are worth good money if the type and condition are right.
