Foro de Filatelia Argentina

I completed a study of this stamp as a test of what I need to for all the others. This is one of the simpler stamps in that it had a limited run (all of 1936) and was printed on one paper (my 1E1, the cream medium thickness paper).

This stamp was issued January 1, 1936, and here is a cover from January 4.



This is the first paper (1E1):



There are two catalogued plate varieties in Klass/Kneitschel:

long vertical line across argentina section of map



retouched left numeral background



there is an additional plate variety I find, and it seems to be in one of the master dies because I find two variations:

the most common has a broken curl midway along the right side edge,



here is a detail



the second variation also has a line break that I find in two separate specimens (one on cover).



here is the detail



for those who can read Spanish, I also have scans of the three major catalogs for the regular issues and the officials in Kneitschel (the most authoritative source, it seems):

Tony,

having a good look at the pictures I get the feeling that the blue was the 2nd colour to be printed?

Some scans of my own:











Candidates for the 5x2 base block:

Two and a half year later I can tell the base block or root block does NOT consist of a 5x2 block BUT a 10x1 block!

Of all ten stamps at the top row of 10, we can find minor characteristics that repeat themselves downwards 10 times!!! So a characteristic like this will be present in the whole column of 10 stamps!

to be continued ...

Kneitschel refers to the long line as of belonging to composition A and the value tablet belongs to composition B!

That means that I have composition B! See position 96!

Tony,




this is NOT a plate flaw! it is a systematical characteristic! One of the 10 out the root block of 10x1. In fact it is position 9!

The whole 9th column has this "flaw"!

The candidate for the base block - not 5x2 - is on position 3!
