Speaking of papers this morning I went to Casa de Moneda and Nora Matassi, the Museum Director, who remembers you quite well, showed me records Ihat I had not seen before. I´ll be brief: she showed me copies of internal communications where they detail reception of paper Nº 13 which is mine "granulado vertical" (Housing Congress excepting WT & AP and Austrian paper you found). For your information this paper is Dutch, being his manufacturer the firm Berhard Loebel that I imagin is knonw to you. The shipment of first reams were receivet at Buenos Aires port in April, 19th 1939 and boxes opened on August 22nd, 1939. This shipment was part of a large one as above firm won Casa de Moneda tender dated August 19th, 1938.
These papers also reveal that said firm sent a total of 654 rolls of coated paper Nº 27, each one measuring 2000 meters length by 28cm with. 200 rolls were cut into 28 x 84,5 cm to print Roca monument (MT415)
Therefore stamps and souvenir sheets of commemorative issue of the XIº Congreso Postal Universal on coated ("tixado")
paper has been printed on another coated paper, which origin remains unknown...yet. Saludos,
José
José,
this is great news!
Do I understand you well that the type of paper called for quite some time "papel Holandes" really has a Dutch origin????
And that the firm is called GERHARD LOEBER - can you please check the correct spelling of its name!
The Loeber firm is the one that you knew as ALPAMIJ in the 1923 José San Martin context!
saludos, Rein
