Is anyone into collecting this sort of stuff?
I have a bunch of addressed envelopes with stamps issued by the Ross Dependency in Antarctica, stamped and signed by the postmaster at Scott Base. 1972.
Also a bunch of addressed and unopened envelopes from the Pan Pacific Boy Scout Jamboree. 1955. There are letters inside, presumably never read.
Destined for a rubbish tin unless anyone is interested. I'll fork out for the postage.

We used to collect them as kids, always looking out for rare ones and never finding any. But back then, it helped us know a bit more about where places across the world were, and I remember the satisfaction updating the album. Happy memories.
 
I don't but before you put them in the bin if no one turns up who does it may be worth dropping Stanley Gibbons an e-mail to check if they have any value.

A friend was clearing out an elderly relatives house and retrieved a scrap book from a bin that had a load of stamps in it which ended up being worth £500 when he asked.

Edit - should have said very kind of you to seek an alternative owner who may appreciate them.
