US Stamps, US Stamp Values
and Easy Identification Guide

Welcome.

Here you will find images of all US postage stamps up to 1940. Along with updated market prices. Included are articles, a large inventory of US Local Stamps, plus images of US Back of the Book stamps. Not included are the Confederate states, or Hawaii, these are represented better elsewhere.

Itrack prices at major US New York auction houses. These include Matthew Bennett, Shreves, Cherrystone and Robert Seigel. Occassionaly I will include a US sale from Harmers or other international auction house. Where possible both with ebay and auction houses I will indicate the points the stamp was awarded by a recognized eusstamps/xpertiser such as the PSE.

Prices are updated twice yearly. Some issues, such as the 1869 Pictorial Inverts have a record of each sale. Other issues have specialized articles attached to them.

This site is on US stamps is offered free, therefore there is no commercial bias in the opinions offered. There is a section at the back for US stamp dealers which has been put together based on the comments I have recieved from you, the viewer.

Great Britain Stamps

Welcome.

In this site I have attempted to do something, not hitherto done. A complete pictorial guide to the stamps of Great Britain.

For the QV Jubilee Issues, KEVII and KGV the stamps will be broken down to their specialized number. That means that order for say KEVII 1/2d will be M1, M2, M3 and M4 etc.

Where possible I have used my own certified material as a reference, however in many instances it will take a lot of searching to find the prime eusstamps/xample of a particular stamp. As it is, the images I have represent the best I have found in the last five years.

Every other day a new page will be added, eventualy covering 1840 through to 1936.
