This seal was identified at thestampforum.boards.net/post/7235/threadPlease post your TB seals here! ---------------------------------------------------- Thanks Michael, being first to post here is something I will always treasure! Can anyone provide information on country of origin and issuer of this seal? It appears to have an Asian motif.  |

Tuberculosis Seal.
I have somewhere, a page of every tuberculosis seal produced in 1956
If I can find it, we can possible isolate the country.
Gathering Lotus blossoms, would suggest Thailand or Cambodia.

Gathering Lotus blossoms, would suggest Thailand or Cambodia. Actually, India. We can rule out Cambodia since it was a part of Indo-China at the time and would have used French on any seals they might have produced. I looked through John Denune's site at christmasseals.net and found this in his .PDF listing for India. A low resolution scan, but it shows an interesting selvedge marking.  Ryan |

Thanks to all for the help! Now the question is, do we move the related posts to a Christmas Seals: Asia (or India) thread or do we allow this thread to eventually become quite long?  |

My suggestion would be to isolate. This is not a Christmas seal per se, rather, a TB seal. I'd suggest Steve begins a new Board, ................ TB Seals : Worldwide. But I'll be happy whatever you do  |

For my taste, the French set of TB seals are most desirable, rather hard to locate. A post pre forum days of mine in 2009  The French early set in black and white  |

Mexico, took the idea of the TB Seal, and blew everyone else away with their huge topical landscapes. 1976 The entire process of the Bullfighting ring, in sequence, on a pane  Later Trains, a vast broadsheet, perhaps enticing the purchasers to buy a complete pane.  |

Wiki
Tuberculosis
One third of the world's population is thought to have been infected with M. tuberculosis, with new infections occurring in about 1% of the population each year. In 2007, there were an estimated 13.7 million chronic active cases globally, while in 2010, there were an estimated 8.8 million new cases and 1.5 million associated deaths, mostly occurring in developing countries. The absolute number of tuberculosis cases has been decreasing since 2006, and new cases have decreased since 2002. The distribution of tuberculosis is not uniform across the globe; about 80% of the population in many Asian and African countries test positive in tuberculin tests, while only 5–10% of the United States population tests positive.[1] More people in the developing world contract tuberculosis because of compromised immunity, largely due to high rates of HIV infection and the corresponding development of AIDS.

And a cute little British one from the National Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis. NAPT does fit better on the label.  |

Ooops Clanger, It was Cuba (Information c/o Mr. Rudy Roy)  |

Just received a brace of Cinderellas in the Mail from Jeff...Thanks! TB Seal Germany Another label with cynosure on the "White Plague" Tuberculosis This label centred in Germany, probably would highlight their work in Bolivia or Nepal Kuratorium Tuberkulose in der Welt e.V. c/o Asklepios Fachkliniken München-Gauting, Robert-Koch-Allee 2 82131 Gauting Germany Projects: • Bolivia: Two TB treatment centres have been set up in Santa Cruz since 1983, financed by donations to the Kuratorium and BMZ funds. Each facility is equipped with a bacteriological laboratory and examination rooms for doctors and pharmacists. Diagnosis and therapy is solely in the hands of local specialists. • Nepal: a laboratory for the diagnosis of tuberculosis and a health care clinic for TB patients have been built in Kathmandu since 1986. In addition we supervise district projects and take part in international studies. • Ukraine: a national reference laboratory for diagnosing tuberculosis has been built in Kiev, and was presented to the Ukraine Ministry of Health by the Bavarian Minister of State in the year 2000. The Kuratorium was in charge of this project (supervision, quality control, and staff training) and oversaw the coordination of all the parties involved. • Stavropol Russla: setting up a laboratory in the central TB Hospital in Stavropol, which has since been handed over to the Gorbachov Trust, thus enabling long-term tuberculosis control, including multi-resistant cases.  |

"I gather that the USA is forbidden in here . Is that correct ? They have a thread on their own ?"
I don't think so Lb1,
There exists a difficulty in creating a suitable Library on TSF.
There are as many ideals, as there are members.
Most Americans relate to TB centred labels as "Christmas Seals" hence the disparity.
In my personal Library, I classify everything under "Country of origin" based on the cynosure of members who join wanting information
on their personal country.
However on this forum things tend to gravitate towards centralisation of stamp thematic.
For Example
I have
US ~ Stamps
US~ TB seals
US ~ Charities etc
Here things are lumped under "Cinderellas" it stems from the old fashioned clique ridden "back of book" mentality,
So yes, perhaps separate US and then worldwide TB seals.

I have a few I can add to the line up. First, another one of the old French TB seals, this one from 1933.  Next, Rod is missing James' contribution of Rhodesia from his list. Here's another to jog his purloin / snaffle process ...  And here are some countries on Rodney's list that haven't yet been shown. Bermuda, Korea, Philippines (yeesh, it needs a bath) and Singapore.     Ryan |

How did I know Ryan would immediately Pop up with other countries?, I like to think I am Gung Ho with Cinderellas, but as you can see, I am merely the Master's Apprentice. Here is all I have Colombia wise [LAC] , Jerry. NOTE : 1980 surcharge on a 1961 Label, THAT has to be a first.  |
