The Finds Found at the Kingston Spring Stamp Festival

In an earlier post profiling my haul from the church hall at the Kingston Spring Stamp Festival, I listed my sorting hierarchy and an update about the full Ziploc bag of Review stamps I plucked from the postal plethora. I've now had a chance to review the Review and found the Finds, which I'm profiling in this post. I've grouped the Finds generally, placing them in a stock book and photographing them before integrating them into my collection.

Cinderella/back of book and a few leftovers (top photo). 
Some worldwide Finds:
LargerBritish Commonwealth issues:
KGVI and QE2:
KGVI and earlier, including QV Australian predecessors:
One of my favourites, the Falkland Islands. Also another 30 issues not pictured, 
plus some New Zealand private post:
WWII Germany, Russia plus some Danzig and early US:

 A baggie of US also emerged...
I likely have a lot of these already, but it will be fun to check. I think there is one occupied nations 
(also called the Overrun Countries set) issue I'm missing.
Free postage! Various eras mint stamps, some self-adhesive, approaching $5 total:
