Rationale & Market Reference

New Zealand “Health” & semi-postal stamps (charity / health surcharge) are collectible.

The very famous “Smiling Boys” 1931 Health issue is especially sought after and commands high prices in good condition.

Dealers list many New Zealand health stamps (pre-decimal period) in modest ranges (e.g. £2–£30) depending on condition, rarity, and gum.

Some specialized issues (errors, rare shades) can command premium prices, but your lot appears more common types.
