💷 Valuation Estimate

Based on available market data:

High value definitives such as the “Seahorses” (2/6 brown and 5/- red under King George V) are a recognised collectible category.

For later issues under King George VI (2/6, 5/-) mint / unused examples may list from £10-£100 or more depending on condition.

Your stamps are used and show staining/toning, which reduces the value significantly compared to “very fine/unused”.

Given condition, a realistic valuation for the set of four might be in the region of £20-£40 (total) if no major faults beyond toning/cancellation. If one of them is a rarer variety/printer/colour then value could be higher.
