1911 Helmar Stamps

[Pup6913]

I picked up a few stamps on a large trade but I don't know how to price them because there aren't enough examples of the ones I got to do so. Any help is good. I would appreciate any recent sale prices or maybe what you paid for yours.

I paid a premium for mine at $75, but it was in great condition.

I picked up 13 for $84 in one of the first Net54 auctions.

as an aside--i got a pristine glassine envelope which holds the stamps for an incredible price which was so low that i can't remember it. :)
thanks again, Jon

The 2009 Standard Catalog has them priced at $15 in VG, $25 in EX if this helps.

Is this the envelope you're referring to, Barry?

Certainly not pristine, but I thought it was cool at the time.

Very similar but not identical. I have seen a few different styles of the envelopes over the years.

'tho a bit different, yours is a beaut Mike, and thanks again Jon--for the
clarifying information re: varieties of styles as well.

Here are two other styles for the Helmar Stamp envelopes, these two are almost identical but the wording is just slightly different in size in places...
