To start hello to all I am not a collector so I need all the help I can. I work cleaning out bank house repos I love historical items and couldn't throw these away
jbauer, Welcome to the forum. You will no doubt hear lots of noise about the 1st and 3rd stamp you have, but they are just the common variety, 11 x 11 perf Franklin, Scott #552, and have a "catalog value" of 25 cents. The one at the bottom is from a booklet pane, which is the same stamp that they cut the sheet up into blocks of sick, stick them together into a vending machine booklet, that's the only difference between the two. The middle one is a Scott #300 equally common, and damaged (pulled perf in the bottom). It has a used catalog value also of 25 cents. If you're treasure hunting, and want to get serious about it, you need to get yourself a Scott Specialized Catalog of US Stamps. It will help you to identify your stamp, and show its "value", but note that values are for stamps in excellent condition (even when used), and with good centering and color. The Catalog value for these is unlikely useful in this case, as common 25 cent stamps are everywhere, it will be hard to even give them away.
