Return to Stamps' Main Page
Arden Services is not a stamp dealer. I, the owner of Arden Services, was a hobby collector in my youth. If I use terms like "F" (Fine), "VF" (Very Fine), Mint, "Avg." (Average), or Good, I am defining them by my reckoning, not necessarliy the way a highly experienced dealer or entrenched hobbyist would. I tried to make the scans as clear, sharp and accurate as possible, in order to permit you to make a reasoned judgement as to their potential value--both to yourself and as to the price I ask. I also try to explain whatever I think needs explaining. If you think I'm not asking enough, great news for you. If you think I'm too high, I'll dicker, but may not agree to a lower price; however, you will never know unless you try.
     Dick Johnson

Unless specified otherwise, only one stamp is available.

#219 - 1890 Standard Issue

A stamp such as this can be used temporarily to fill in a gap in anyone's collection, until such time as a better specimen might be obtained.

This 1¢ Dull Blue with Benjamin Franklin may not be in the best shape of any in my collection, but was a redesign from the 1881 issue.

Hinged--an attempt had been made to remove the hinge, but it was stuck so tight that it caused the damage seen in the photo.

Asking price: $0.20 + S&H
#230 - 1893 Columbian Commemorative Issue

A stamp such as this can be used temporarily to fill in a gap in anyone's collection, until such time as a better specimen might be obtained.

This 1¢ Blue may not be in the best shape of any in my collection, but it is one of the more interesting. It is from the issue that contained our first comemoratives. Many collectors consider them our most interesting stamps. Hinged.

Asking price: $0.35 + S&H
#282C or #283 - 1898 Standard Issue

A stamp such as this can be used temporarily to fill in a gap in anyone's collection, until such time as a better specimen might be obtained.

This 10¢ is either Brown, Type I, or Organe/Brown, Type II, and may not be in the best shape of any in my collection. Hinged.

Asking price: $0.50 + S&H
#328 - 1907 Jamestown Commemorative Issue
 This 1¢ Green with Capt. John Smith is among the finest used stamps that I have in my collection. In fact, it is in such good condition that I could almost try to pass it off as unused, but won't. I suspect that at some long past time, someone stuck it on an envelope, never mailed it, and soaked it off. Never hinged.

Asking price: $13.50 + S&H
#553 - 1922-26 Standard Issue

 This 1-1/2¢ Yellow/Brown is in very fine condition, included in another redesign of standard issues. Although in great shape, it is hinged.

#622 - 1925-26 New Value Issue

 This 13¢ Green, with Benjamin Harrison, was a new value stamp issued in 1926, along with the 17¢ Woodrow Wilson. Couple of "chinks" out of it in the upper left corner. Hinged.

# 565 or #695 - 1922-25 New Design or 1930 Reprint Issue

#713 - 1932 Washington Bicentennial Commemorative

A stamp such as this can be used temporarily to fill in a gap in anyone's collection, until such time as a better specimen might be obtained.

This 8¢ Olive Bistre would be in very fine shape if it wasn't for the extra black postmark. You can just make out enough to know that it was postmarked in Oil City, PA. Unhinged.

Asking price: $0.75 + S&H
#749 - 1934 National Parks Commemorative Issue
