Old Stamp Found In A 80lb Horde Of Stamps

New to Stamps and May Need help on if I may have a Great Buy or Not!

One of the many Stamps I have found, Will Post up a Few Interesting Stamps as I find them...Hoping at least 1 Gem will come out of this Massive Haul!

Anyone Know what I got Here?...I Have a Scott 12 in 1 Gauge on Order to help me figure out Perforations and such, But Definitely am a little Overwhelmed by the Amount of Pre 1940 Stamps in this Haul!

Welcome.

Thanks for the Reply, Im Sure I have Mostly Common Stamps, From the Look of things it Looks Pretty hard to Find a Gem in a Collection!

Is Stamp Smarter a Good Online Referance to all the Stamps Numbers and Population Numbers?

Stamp Smarter has over 2500+ pages of info, for US stamps here is a good place to start (the 'visual identifier pages).

Thanks for the Info and Kind Words, There is alot of envelopes with numbers and quantities in this lot, Hopefully the numbers match the stamps inside!

Fun stamps. Condition issues.

Condition is Definatly Hit and Miss, But the House These came out of was Destroyed by the Latest Tornado in Dallas, the Hawaii one was just found in a giant ziplock bag of random newer stamps

Here is How alot of them are Stored:
