412			1902, July 2. Cover via New Orleans and New York to Berlin franked by 1901 1 c., pair of 2 c. and 5 c., all tied by target cancellation with blue San José datestamp alongside with arrival on reverse. Envelope slightly reduced at right. Yv. 41, 42, 43.	EUR  125.00
413			1904, Aug 7. 10 c. postal stationery envelope via New York and New Orleans to Paris, additionally franked at double rate with 1901 20 c. tied by black target cancel with violet San José cds alongside. A scarce stamp on cover. Yv. 45.	EUR  150.00
414			1904, May 8. Postcard (Rancho de Indios) to New York bearing 1903 4 c. tied by elusive superb strike of two-line ''PORT LIMON/May 8 1904'' in blue, alongside with New York directory research marking. It is clear to argue that Port limon is not a Costarican post office marking, due to both the wording and style; we believe it was likely a shipping agent's device (seen on paquebot items). Very scarce. Yv. 51.	EUR  150.00
