Just wondering if anyone out there knew anything about stamps , we have several letters and post cards with postmarked stamps and would like to know if they have any value, here is two , the two cent one is postmarked 1927 and the other one 1941 and has for defense on the bottom, any help would be great , thanks in advance.......Jack

JACK, I have collected stamps for about 50 years. The 2 cent Washington is worth about 45 cents post marked and the war stamp (defense) is worth about 60 cents post marked. Perhaps with the postcards also they would be worth more...depending on what the postcards depict....PAPPY

Thanks Pappy, i never collected stamps and know little about them other than they are getting high, lol, here is the pictures of the two 1941's, the other 1927 is a letter with a 1927 easter seal on the back, not sending a pic of that one right now....thanks again.....Jack

TWO THINGS JACK...Both postcards were during the War period and both cards are of collectable interest. Each would be worth about $5.00-$6.00 each...PAPPY

Hi All,

I had not been to this site in a while but Jacks question made me go track it down. It's a great site to ID not only US stamps but foreign as well.

Stamp Collecting Supplies from Kenmore Stamp Company

It does take a little searching since they already presume that you know what you are looking for, but I found both of Jacks stamps in about 5 minutes of looking. The 2c Washington was from the 1922-1925 New Definitives set and the 1c liberty is from the 1940 Commemoratives.

Best they give their price for new and used. I used to buy a lot of my stamps from them when I was collecting back when I was younger and they always had very competitive prices. They came up a little under what Pappy quoted but as usual hes right in the ballpark
