No, I don't know how much as you don't seem to give much information just the "Red Revolution". Which one? Please remember this is not a stamp-collectors site.
Of course, all stamps are worth something, whether or not you can lick them or not. Especially stamps with historical events printed or referred to on them. I will just assume that they are October revolution stamps, it depends on how old they arem and since they are of a country long forgot, worth even more.
Why would you want to know how much they are anyway? You're not thinking of selling them are you? :angry: I'm dissappointed, unless you want to know of historical and more meaningful value, then of course they are worth something, keep them.
By the by I have Chaiman Mao stamps from the sixties and plenty of East German stamps.

Rebal16, the stamps would be "worth" the most to someone who specialized in collecting revolutionary stamps...try an ad on e-bay or on a stamp-collection site and see what kind of response you get.

On the other hand, you might want to consider donating them to one of the revolutionary museums around the world...there are still a fair number of them.

:cool:

If some rich oil tycoon (or what have you) wants to part with his money for some stamps, I say take advantage of him.

Of course donating them to a worthwhile cause is a good idea also.

me......nah, I'm kidding. See if you can find any museums in Cuba that would be willing to accept, or Russia if there are some revolution museums, not capitalist ones. See if you can scan or phtograph them and shows us some first or whatever.

I have a number of stamps that I recieved when my grandmother on my mom's died. They where my Great Grandfather's stamps and many from Russia before the revolution, some baltic states, some German stamps from 19th cent... to WWII (stamps with Hitler) .... and like every stamp from the UK and the USA from the late 19th Cent to WWII.
