1923, unused UPU 4c wrapper showing pineapple. In very good quality for this type of which extremely few examples are known. As H.D. Mitchell writes, "The wrapper is surface oriented in green on a poor quality of Manila. This latter fact
may have something to do with the present scarcity of the item for the paper employed is anything but durable." H&G give a RRR rating for this exceptionally rare piece. One of the highest ratings seldom used in H&G. According to the 1998 handbook
Costa Rica Postal Stationary 1883-1953, Mitchell writes "I have only seen one un-postmarked example - this is one of the scarcest of all Costa Rican stationary." It is also probably the rarest topical item of the pineapple fruit. (Image 1)

1863–1966, An outstanding and highly specialised collection commencing with an in-depth study of the iconic 1863 Coat of Arms issue, represented by singles and blocks, together with plate proofs, muestra overprints, early town
cancellations, a Spiro forgery, and a detailed treatment of the Ross surcharges of the 1880s. Notably, these opening pages were exhibited at 1960s stamp show, where they were awarded the Grand Award. The collection continues with impressive depth and
consistency, featuring a wealth of plate proofs, perforation varieties, imperforate pairs, inverted overprints and surcharges, and notable tête-bêche pairs from the 1921 Centenary of Central American Independence issue. The back-of-the-book is
particularly strong, including a set of official seals, as well as comprehensive sections of revenues and postal stationery. Carefully assembled and neatly mounted on album pages, the collection offers a wide range of specialised material, including
plate errors, useful cancellations, overprint and surcharge varieties, as well as airmail and official issues, with a small number of overprint proofs. A substantial and rewarding holding (approximately 93% complete), comprising hundreds of items,
many of which are rarely encountered on the market. A collection of this scope and quality provides an excellent foundation for both study and further expansion. Condition generally fine to very fine. All pages are available for online viewing. A
remarkable assembly that will not disappoint. Also included is Costa Rica Postal Catalogue. Fourth Edition 2014 General Editor Hector R. Mena. Softbound perfect binding + 300 pages. (Image 1)

CUBA — SEALS & POSTAL TAX STAMPS FOR THE FIGHT AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS — EXTENSIVE SPECIALIZED COLLECTION. An important and highly specialized collection tracing Cuba’s campaign against tuberculosis through privately issued charity seals and
Government postal tax stamps, arranged chronologically from the 1928 “Kiss to the Sun” issue through 1958. The collection includes known varieties, errors and proofs, together with relevant postal-history material. Highlights include the scarce 1928
first Cuban tuberculosis seal, including a tête-bêche pair, and the issues of the National Tuberculosis Council from 1939 including a complete booklet of 500,, followed by the Cuban Government’s 1c compulsory postal tax stamps, whose proceeds were
dedicated to tuberculosis control.
Particularly noteworthy is the collection’s social-philately and public-health context, documenting the unusual partnership between private charitable organizations and the Cuban Government in financing tuberculosis eradication. Formed over many
years by a collector who lived in Cuba from 1944–49 and personally witnessed these combined efforts, the collection represents a substantial study of an unusual and historically significant area of Cuban postal, fiscal and medical history. (Image 1)
