Hello,

I found some older stamps while going through my father's estate. I really do not know much about stamps. I looked up stamp information online but it is a little overwhelming. If anyone can provide information on these stamps it would be much appreciated.

Thank-you!

The only unfamiliar stamp is the Ohio tax coupon. The rest are very common and in rough shape. I'd keep them as a family momento. There is no financial value in those stamps.

The real value in these stamps is the fact they came down to you from a relative. Their market value is minimal compared to the family connection. Keep them safe in a frame with info on who enjoyed collecting them.

As previously stated, these seem to be fairly common stamps, though many are in poor condition. I suggest dividing them amongst younger relatives, ideally ages 7-11. Initially upon presentation, the children might not seem interested, but perhaps it will spark an interest amongst one of them.


I observed that several of these common stamps are from the United States Regular Issues of 1922-1931.

And a few are from the common Presidential Issue of 1938

Personally, I am not familiar with state revenue stamps. Here are couple links relevant to the Ohio stamp.
