Just bought an entire lot of Straits Settlements stamps off Ebay and one of the sets includes the Straits Settlements QV Definitive II from 1883-1891. Have the 2c, 4c, 5c, 6c, 24c and 32c USED. Please see the scan below.
As I have some duplicates, was thinking that it was possible to actually perhaps sell the extra ones off Ebay. However, I am not so sure about paying a listing price when there is no confirmation that anyone will actually buy these stamps.

Queen Victoria Straits Settlements Stamps
Look what just arrived in my mail box. A lovely set of 4 stamps from the Straits Settlements era from various Queen Victoria definitive set. Seriously, I can't really tell the difference between all the various definitive especially for the King Edward VII sets. They all look the same to me. Anyway, here is a scan of the stamps:
I believe the top row (from left) is a 1882 Queen Victoria Definitive 1(b) 8 cents and 10 cents. This is followed by the carmine rose "THREE CENTS" surcharge on 32 cents. The last stamp is a 1892-1899 Queen Victoria Definitive III 3 cent brown colored stamp.
Do let me know if I got my stamps correctly defined.
