    Here are some old German stamps that might be interesting to you.
    Does someone maybe know how much they could be worth?

    Left plate:
    second row,second stamp (25 Pfg.) from the left is around $ 30.- cat.value.But the cancellation is smeared and the whole appearance of the stamps looks dirty.So it is no more worth than maybe $ 1.-.
    Same row,fourth stamp(5 Pfg.),is about $ 10.- cat.value.But again: it is in such a poor state,that it is worth nearly next to nothing.
    Third row,second stamp (40 Pfg.): cat.value ca.$ 20.-.The cancel is not readable,so the net value
    will be $ 5.- or a little less.
    Third row,fifth stamp: cat.val. $ 8.-,showing parts
    of a wave-cancel (killer),so net perhaps $ 2.-.
    Row eight,fifth stamp (2 Mark),if mint,n.h. cat.val.
    about $ 70.-,if mint,hinged $ 25.-,if cancelled (the
    scan is not clear) about $ 3.-.For both mint about
    20-30% cat. is realistic.If it should be used,it is
    nearly worthless,because the cancel is there in traces only,if the stamp is cancelled at all.
    All other stamps of that plate are of little value,no
    exceeding $ 1.-,but a number,due to poor state,
    are worthless.
    Right plate:
    Quite a nice group of se-tenants.It needs some time
    to check all one by one.So it would be advisable
    to get a catalogue,what lists se-tenants.(Michel)
    The best ones I found on a first glance are
    the 7 1/2 + 15 Pfg. with a cat.value of about $ 130.-.if mint,never hinged.

    Thanks so much, Werner. I will let my husband know to get a catalogue.
