After Charles Lindbergh became the first person to cross the Atlantic Ocean flying, his fame took him on the “Good Will Tour”. Costa Rica was one of many stops.
At the end of 1927, the Costarican government commissioned Antolín Chinchilla to create the official surcharge’s lithograph stone of 100 positions. At the same time, he used the original die to create a smaller one of 25 positions.
This 25 position lithograph stone is known as a private lithograph stone.
I was lucky enough to purchase this RARE item. Maybe because I insisted enough, but definitely because of a great philatelist’s great heart.
After purchasing this lithograph stone, I started looking for someone who would be able to make reprints using the same methods from that time.
After almost 2 years I was able to find the right people!
