Stamp identification help please

William Bell

Hi all,

I am (finally!) finishing identification of my entire collection, about 14,000 stamps in all. But I have a handful that I just can't figure out. I would very much appreciate any help you might be able to give in identifying these stamps.

Many thanks,
William Bell

#2 - Russia semi-postal?


#3 - Russia semi-postal?


#4 - Russia semi-postal?

I have your #4 stamp. A friend said this stamp was valuable. Is this correct? John

FREDRICK A. MATHIS

The #4 stamp is Ukraine. If unwatermarked it is B2 & worth $1.00. if watermarked #116 it is B6 & worth $50.00.

William Bell

Not surprisingly, my stamp is not watermarked. Thanks to all for your help with identification. I now have IDs for all except #8.

I would say Lebanon?

John Maloney

I agree Lebanon. Shares some features of this Lebanese stamp.

William Bell

Thanks! I found an eBay listing that confirms Lebanon, but with no Scott No.

Ted Tyszka

It is a revenue stamp (timbre fiscal) which Scott does not catalogue.
