The catalogue values vary greatly for these depending upon watermark type, check letters etc. Would need scans first of all to get going. Then test for watermark.
Sorry I can't be more specific.

PS. If you can tell us the colour for each value, it might help narrow it down a bit.

If you resize your images to around 900 pixels wide by about 1100, they should upload ok. You may have to come down a bit on the 900 to get the second size to be ok.
Tried to find the relevant thread but searching for image sizing gives a zero return.

Thanks for the answers so far.
As to colours 1/2 d is bright green. 1d red brown. 2d blue. 6d yellow green. 10d deep green 11d red. All show St Edward (I think) crown and value in words.
Not mastered the image upload yet but working on it. I am exceeding the MAX_FILE_SIZE of 850,000 bites apparently. Obviously I am a vampire of sorts.

EvertonDave.......Good Evening.
Thanks for the pic. It kind of helps and doesn't help. It helps because all of the 11d examples with check letters have the same value in my rather old catalogue. But it doesn't help to figure out exactly which issue this is from.
The colours in my catalogue are Rose, rose and Vermillion which your example obviously isn't. But the reason for that is simple. What I see on my screen is Scarlet (red). But others might see differently on their screens. Also names of colours differ from country to country and within a country too.
It's a minefield.
The Cat.Value for the 11d like yours is £10 in my old catalogue. Someone I know who sells revenues online gives it a market price of £15 which is a current value. The 11d can be found on eBay or elsewhere for less than that.
That will give you an idea of the value for your 11d. The other values you stated have lesser values but to be sure I would need to see them and know which watermark they have. Are you able to see the watermark ?
1916 Wmk Script GR
1924 Wmk Block GvR
1925 Same design but with check letters left and right. Wmk Block GR
1934 As 1925 but Wmk Block SO
1950 As 1925 but Wmk Script SO
If you can scan the other values it would help a bit more. Even better the watermarks.
I took the liberty of cropping your image. If you can edit your pictures you should be able to crop and save so only the stamp is showing. If you need help just holler !

Londonbus1,
Many many thanks this is very helpful indeed.
May i presume your valuation estimates are all for used stamps? I do have a pair of the 1/2d mint.
Will work on the watermark id and scans of the others
Again my thanks just terrific

I have a small collection of GB Excise Revenue stamps. Some mint, most used un cancelled from theatre tickets, 1/2d, 2d, 6d, 10d, 11d. Can you tell me where I can get a catalogue value or ball park value, please.
