Page 1 & 2 are all US stamps.
Page 3 are Great Britain stamps.
Page 4 are French stamps.
What other questions do you have? |

The GB and French stamps are common, and some are damaged. No financial value there, unless you have one of the scarcer 1d red plates |

The USA stamps are all quite common as well. Most seasoned USA collectors would likely have lots of these and would be happy to exchange them for almost anything else. They can generally be found in any dealer's pick-a-stamp box for pennies apiece, or whatever they charge these days!
Still a nice starting point for a curious collector! |

The France 'sower' stamps (lines 3-5 and end of line 2) are a fascinating series. Lots of different values and colours and inexpensive. They can make a very attractive display! The first type (with the sun in the background) are one of my favourite French stamps. |

In the bottom row of the GB page, you have a less common stamp - the horizontal 2 1/2d, second from left. Looks a bit damaged though.
Also that large circle one in the centre of the bottom row - it's not a stamp but it has the nice WH Smith ring around the edge. Don't think it's worth anything much, but nice to have. |

Ringo points out the less common 2 1/2 penny stamp on the page of Great Britain. It's Scott 101 or Stanley Gibbons 190, from the popular lilac and green set, that were printed in a special "fugitive" ink that would soak off when you tried to remove the stamps from the envelope, so most of the used ones you find, and which have been soaked off the paper are somewhat to very faded from their original color, and both catalogues will tell you that faded copies sell for greatly reduced prices, and even then this one catalogues for just $18.00 in Scott and 20 pounds in SG. |

Could you provide a clear image of the last stamp in the first row on the third page? Need a clearer view of the plate number. |
