Thanks for your post, Anil ( anilkhemlani). Here is my opinion about your stamps: From left to right: - HK, Sc155, 2c Gray (KGVI), CV $1.00 unused
- HK, Sc114 or 137, 10c Ultramarine (KGV), CV 35c used, either variety
- HK, Sc73 or 89, 4c Violet on Red (KEVII), CV 45c used, either variety
- HK, Sc134, 5c Violet (KGV), CV 35c used
- HK, Sc159, 15c Carmine (KGVI), CV 35c used
For numbers 2 and 3, the exact catalogue number depends on which watermark the paper has, but in these cases, it doesn't affect the values. The above values are based on the 2024 Edition of the Scott Worldwide Catalogue. Note: If these stamps are stuck down, and you are planning to soak them, you will need to be careful. The image on the KEVII 4c Violet on Red is most likely fugitive to water and will fade if immersed for soaking. The others should be OK for standard soaking. Hope this helps!

thank you Beryllium Guy I knew you would be the right person to reach out to. interesting low values on these stamps. doesn't matter too much. I am happy to keep them the way they are. I read in some posts about this 3rd stamp has an issue with soaking so was not planning to soak them for now. will just keep them nicely as they were in a big bunch of pages / envelops etc. cheers anil
