Very nice collection and great price Chris! A lot of fun stamps - I love small stamp series with a lot of different ones in the set, so add the pre-cancels and it makes even more collecting fun!

[@danielste-marie779]

Chris, that was a good deal. The first and last stamps you showed are from US pre-stamped envelopes. Very nice collection.

[@adamhuffman3354]

Great video! I also use those types of stock books. Great for keeping duplicates organized and I like the fact that when open they lay nice and flat.

[@chrissahar2014]

The embossed stamp that was printed on an envelope is from the Columbian commemorative series of 1892. Very popular so many were printed but still worth a few dollars as it is in unused condition.

[@GreatStampAdventure]

Excellent price you paid, Chris. I am sure just the stock book itself is worth more than you paid. Very nice and neat collections of South Africa, South West Africa and the USA and an excellent beginning for these countries. Naturally due to my bias, I loved the SA and SWA stamps the most. 🙂 Of the USA stamps I somehow found the Montana stamp very attractive. Interesting how some things just caught one's eye - like you found the precancels so interesting. Thanks for showing us the stamps and for the interesting information you give for some of the stamps!

[@jerrystamps]

Great Stockbook Chris, definitely worth the 9.75 you paid.

18:52 that USA Buffallo comes from an envelope where they were to print the stamp readily available on the envelope. I received one recently and the envelope had a red “airmail” seal on it as well with the figure of a plane. I thought this is an old envelope which was prepared this way for ease of use.

"The last best place"....i like that

[@KensStampCollection]

The stock book alone is worth the price, and you got an excellent start on both South Africa and US collections. Others pointed out that the two stamps you asked about were cut from envelopes. They are sometimes called cut squares. If you want more, I can send you some, oh, and also unused full envelopes if you like. Let me know.

[@johnscamardo2145]

The envelope stamp is a US stamp from the Colombian Exposition . I believe u have a good purchase with all the variety of issues u received. after the 1990's used US are harder and harder to find used. A lot of the definitives such as the US flags there were several printings and varieties not only of booklet, sheet and coil stamps.

[@GreatStampAdventure]

Just for interest: I gathered from another video I watched, for South Africa, if a pair of stamps are one in English and the other in Afrikaans, it is better to collect them as a pair, not single stamps. But at some stage English and Afrikaans occurred on the same stamp. You probably know that Afrikaans largely developed from Dutch. I understand fairly well what is said if someone talks in Dutch. Afrikaans is my home language. 🙂

[@chrissahar2014]

You got more than your money's worth if you paid $9.75. Granted many of the US stamps from the 1940's through 80's are not worth much but you may find some exceptions plus you seem to have gotten a fair amount of portions of popular series - the GReat Americans starting in the late 70's and going thru the early 90's, some from the Liberty series, and some precancels have a nice premium. If there is a series you really like in this album, I suggest you get the MNH as many of the series from the 1950's onward are quite affordable.

[@kozzackkelt]

The philatelic item you talk about at the beginning is, as others have said, from an envelope for the US Columbian celebration in the 1890's.... it is called a "cut square." Cut Squares are not as "good" as having the whole envelope, but much easier to display in an album. Bison also cut square, although due to the clipped off lower left corner, a "space filler." Nice stockbook of interesting philatelic material !

[@JuanRamos-ro9uv]

Goodday to all. I know nothing about stamps. While coin hunting I've found a book at the salvation army full of old and all kinds of stamps from all over the world. If anybody is intrested.
