These stamps are from a collection started by my Grandfather in circa 1901.
Most of these stamps have a pencil mark probably indicating the Gibbons catalogue number. They all seem to be four digits different from the Gibbons numbers . Examples include the 11c with the Gibbons number of 812 which has a pencil mark of 816. The 20c has an SG number of 821 with a pencil mark of 825. Finally the $2 value has a Gibbons number of 830 with a penciled mark of 833, a difference of three!

Some of these American stamps have hinges or parts of hinges. Others may just have adhesive marks left over from the hinges, and some are clear on the back.
Also several of these stamps have a penciled number on the reverse. These coincide, within three or four numbers, of the Gibbons catalogue numbers.
