I don't have any varieties that haven't already been mentioned but I do have a couple of related items that some may find interesting.

Here are the two that I own...

It is by far the most comprehensive book on Liberian postal stationery. There are quite a few mistakes though and Manfred and I have been cataloging them. There are also some questionable differences between colors but overall, I don't think you w…

Hi David, I sent you an email but then decided to post here as well. Last year, the LPS received a large donation of books and material including the Cockrill, Rogers and Saleski books that Mik mentioned. You can see the listing in the Jul-Sep 20…

Great work, thanks a bunch!!

Here is mine.

I saw the following auction with what appears to be Bileski propaganda. Maybe he is the source of the term "presentation sheets".

Albert, below is the twin to your cover. Almost identical but mine is perforated. By the way, these are not first day covers. The 1953 birds were issued on November 18, 1953 (according to Rogers).

I was going through some of the old threads and I have picked up a few things since 2014! I now own Fosdyke_Ray_2689 that is shown on Manfred's page plus the following items:

Thanks Mik. Since Liberia printed up 1000s of "proofs" to sell as philatelic items, are they really proofs? I like the idea of a glossary!

Hi Mik, The actual die used in printing these would be much larger than the stamp design so the die could be defaced and extend beyond the design. Here is an example of a die that shows how they are quite a bit larger than the design. Another exa…

Hi Mike, I don't have any and from the responses, not a lot of others do either. If you do get the Palo albums, let us know what you think. Thanks, Travis

I have a bunch of the 1918 proofs with about 20% are marked with "ED" in pencil on the back. I don't have any with initials other "ED". One thing I noticed is that "ED" is on regular size proofs as well as proofs that seem to be cut down to a smal…

Hats off to Mik for doing the heavy lifting on this project and for Manfred's technical knowledge for making it available to us. Thanks guys!

Hi Mik, I have Cockrill's booklet #9 and I do not see any information about when they were issued other than in 1916. I am not sure what you mean by overprinted "1916" unless I am thinking of a different issue. These were overprint "LFF". I am a…

This one is from 1933...

Hi Albert, I read them but I don't have any old catalogs laying around. I did make it into the Rocky Mountain Philatelic Library today and found an older Scott catalog. This image is from a 1948 catalog.

Thanks Albert!

From the original sketch of the stamp, it just says"farming scene" and the ABNCo file copy doesn't add anymore information other than it was taken from the sketch. During the 1940s, rubber was Liberia's only export of any consequence and I have nev…

Hi Albert, Nothing yet.

I remember reading about that and several other noted Liberian exhibitions. I am betting we all probably have some of those stamps in our collections.
-
I have not seen that one either nor could I find a reference.
