I ethereally stumbled across this Liberia stamp which appears to show an orange picker at the right of the illustrations.
Does anyone happen to have a Liberia catalog or book to confirm this?
Thanks, JeffS

I got confirmation that this likely shows an orange picker. While commercial citrus exports didn't begin till the mid-60s oranges were a local crop according to a couple posters at the Liberia Philatelic Society who enthusiastically provided a lot of information.  |

The biggest piece I splurged for, literally, is this block (YT #BF361) from Liberia issued in 2000 for the UN Heads of State Conference, advertised as being the "longest block in the world". As you can see from the measuring tape next to it, the stamp itself is 1 light-nanosecond long (30 cm/12 in. for non-physicists ) plus a couple of centimetres of frame around.  |

Here is a 1949 Souvenir Sheet - Sc # C67 - worth probably more than $25 today (I only have Scott 2009 which gives a CV of $24) - this with an interesting note from K. Bileski to my late dad, alway giving his impressions !! René  |

I have a lot of items that had Bileski's opinions and ideas. renden , my 2017 Scott still shows the souvenir sheet listed at $24. Well I am surprised the 2017 has not devaluated the sheet - I am due for a change of Catalogs (2009) but not willing to pay the price - I do have the Specialized Scott as well as the 2021 Unitrade Canada Specialized but it does not list Liberia and I really do not care that much about CVs for such S/Ss - I am not a seller (Eb-HS-Delc etc) so am happy to have the latest Scott Specialized for classics only. ......and I have not given my opinion of Kasimir Bileski, a true stamp dealer !! Thanks ! René |

I actually like the Liberia US President set. It is better than the last USPS set issue.
