Welcome to the community, Caretaker! Folks on here are very helpful with this sort of thing, but they usually need a good quality scan or photograph to help you positively identify what you're looking at :) If your "old chap" is looking to sell his collection, there are many resources you can utilize to help him do that. Buyers will sometimes buy individual items if they are high value, but usually places will buy in bulk. Just be careful because some places will not buy everything you have even if you want to get rid of it all. There are places out there that will take everything though. You might consider getting ahold of a stamp collecting magazine or catalog to help you out :)
Hi thanks for that I will locate a book or magazine to help me I am more interested in finding out about the stamps age and value and how he got them I have just looked in his galleon stamp book under United States of America they look old one that stands out to me but sure there are others is one with a buffalo on with wash DC stamped on it another with Thomas Jefferson on it I will try to get some pics posted soon Thanks again
Hi Scott Thanks and yes you sure can help I have been looking at some of the forums and to be honest the detail that is needed to value and identify a stamp is over my head at the moment I will try and post pics today Thanks again
