How to identify Marietta stamps
- Look for any indication of 'Marietta' as the issuing entity.
- Examine the design for anachronisms or fantastical elements.
- Check for postmarks or cancellations; genuine postal usage would be highly improbable.
- Consult established philatelic catalogs (Scott, Michel, Stanley Gibbons) – genuine Marietta stamps will not be listed.

Identifying Marietta stamps primarily involves recognizing that they are not genuine postal issues. Look for the name 'Marietta' on the stamp. The Stamp Identifier app can suggest the issue from a photo; confirm the catalog number, and ask an expert about anything valuable.
