Hello.
I have already read this, it is the reason why I was Googling for Danilo A. Mueses and found this site.
I have been shown a stamp of Costa Rica that is not in the catalogues.
I think it may be an essay created by Seebeck. I note that this says that Seebeck went to Costa Rica in
1889 but failed to get a contract signed. I am trying to find out if there are records of essays created
to tempt prospective countries.
This stamp can be seen on my web-page at:
My website is primarily about telegraph stamps, about which there is much information lacking.
I note also that Danilo A. Mueses is from the Dominican Republic, a country with particularly
elusive information about telegraph stamps, my page for that is at:

I would particularly like to be in contact with anyone that can help on that.
Regards
Steve.
Sorry, I forgot the Cost Ria reference:
