Stamps - Collectables

All,
Sorry to bore you all but in the words of Paulie, if you don't like the thread title don't open it

Stumbled across approx 1000 plus (maybe 2/3000) stamps, a quick ebay search shows some (the ones I could find in the very little time maybe pretty valuable)

They date back from early 1900s up to 1960s, the majority Pre War.

Anybody know anything about them or know of a reputable dealer who may?

I know the obvious ones up town by a quick bit of googlin.

Cheers all.

There's a place right near Brighton station if you are down this way

Henry Irving

Stanley Gibbons is the obvious one but there is a little place in Bromley on Masons Hill.

Might be best to find an auction house
