Hi everyone,
I've just come across an envelope with a small amount of stamps that my late father collected.
I'm not expecting them to be worth more than a few euros, but thought I'd better check with people in the know, before I get rid!

If any are going to make me a millionaire, please let me know

Thanks in advance for your time

Hello. I'm afraid that you'd be lucky to get one Euro for them. Perhaps find a child who collects stamps to give them to.

Thanks for your reply, and also for your suggestion of finding a child who might like them - fab idea

Well, you have a one million stamp there - the German one Million Marks face-value stamp. Is that not interesting?

Also notice a pair of Kenya-Uganda-Tanganyika stamps from two different monarch reigns, tied on piece. (Top-left)

A couple of curious Nigeria cancels - don't know much about them but the "registered" cancellation must mean something.

Nice Botswana "sock on the nose" cancel.

Stamp collecting is an interesting hobby - rewarding but not in monetary terms.

The Italian triplet, not seen before.
The Botswana Postmark appears unusual. Unknown
FRANCISTOWN But no country in lower ring

One of the Nigerian, appears to be an Aerogramme cut square. Registered? I do not recall seeing a Registered Aerogramme prior.
