Not any real valuable items that I can see, and condition is Everything! (Most of these are in very bad condition.) You may consider keeping them to remind you of your grandfather's interests, keep them for the next generation, or donate them to a local stamp club.

What is the stamp in the upper left corner on the left page? I don't recognize it based on the image here.

I did look twice at this one:




Might just be a run of the mill #65, but it looks a little bright (#64?(!!)) and not badly centered. Can't see the perforations too well, but if it isn't stuck down with "electrical tape" or glue might be worth a more close-up and in-focus look-see...

you might see if the early US stamps can be unmounted and repost their images here for further consideration. That way others might be able to opine on their merit.
