U.S. stamps in this range all look alike to me.  The pages in my
Mystic Heirloom stamp album do not give enough information for me to
insert the stamps.

Hey marthy-ga,

These sites/pages should help you identify your old US postage stamps:

http://www.friktech.com/stamps/

http://1847usa.com/

That second one has a page of links that seems to be pretty thorough:

http://1847usa.com/links.htm

A stamp collecting site like

http://www.stampworld.biz/

might be useful to you for asking detailed questions.

Another potential source of good information on identifying old US
stamps is found in catalogues such as those published by Scott and
Minkus. Here's a couple of docs that link to ways to obtain some of
those:

http://www.stamp-site.com/stamp_books.htm

Good luck and enjoy your collection! :-)
