Argentina stamps

P=have O=don’t have it

Flag of Argentina

Argentina is the second-largest country in South America in area, and the third largest in population.  Argentina has a long, tapered shape and occupies most of the southern part of South America. The Andes Mountains stretch along the country's western border, with a bare, windswept plateau called Patagonia, which extends across the south. A grassy plain, called The Pampa, lies near the middle of the country. Most Argentines are of Italian or Spanish ancestry. Indians ‘the original inhabitants’ make up only a small part of the country's population. Argentina's name comes from the Latin word for silver, argentum, because the first Spanish settlers came to Argentina in search of silver and gold during the 1500's. For almost 300 years, Argentina was a Spanish colony. It finally gained its independence in the early 1800's.  Argentina began printing its own stamps in 1858.

Buenos Aires, long the chief port and commercial center of Argentina, was independent from the rest of the country at various times in the 19th century. Since 1862, however, it has formed a province of Argentina, whose stamps have been in use since 1864. A British post office in the city used regular British stamps (canceled "B-32") from 1860 to 1873 (http://www.linns.com).

A province in central Argentina, Cordoba issued its own stamps from 1858 to 1865, when they were replaced by the issues of the central government (http://www.linns.com).

The northeast province of Argentina, Corrientes issued its own stamps until 1880, when they were replaced by regular Argentine issues.

I asked Lou "What do think about this one as the stamp inside Argentina #1055?"

Lou wrote: Nope, not even close. If you shrink the scan to the size of the stamp on #1055, the dark areas don't match up  either as is or inverted, and especially, there is no dark area all by itself for the bull.

Over the years, I have attempted to find an ID for this issue with no luck. With the internet, I had hopes that I would find an enlargement of the photo by Sara Facio used on the stamp.  She is a well known Argentine photographer, and there are dozens of her works on line, including others on Argentine stamps, but not this one.

Lou wrote: You have the right stamp scan but the wrong ID. The designer made an error, and instead of showing a rouletted Sc #37 which was issued in 1878, the actual centenary year, he used a perforated stamp with the same design, Sc #56 that was not issued until 1887. The Scott catalog IDs the SoS as #37 in error also, and I advised them years ago about it, but it remains unchanged. I also advised about the error when we were updating the lists so many years ago, but never checked to see if it was corrected. I was looking at another Argentina SoS on your sites and finally saw your scans.

Attached are scans of both the actual #37 and a better #56 from my collection. I think you should make mention of the error and show both stamps on your sites. You could also point out that #1231 was printed in 1978 and not released until January 20, 1979-- see date in center bottom margin below design.

#C90 Inside #2429: Argentina #90P

Lou wrote:  The ID of Argentina #90 on Argentina #2429 is incorrect. The stamp reproduced is an imprinted stamp on an aerogram from 1963, note only navy and blue, not multicolored like #90. After Argentina invaded the islands, they needed to provide means for their soldiers to keep in contact with their families.  Initially, they used confiscated Falkland Island OHMS envelopes, but later, they provided stocks of old surplus Argentine aerograms. Although these were imprinted with 11, 13 and 18 peso valued stamps; they were supplied free to the soldiers.  Finally, in May, specific airletter sheets with "SERVICIO EXTRAORDINARIO" and a boxed "FRANQUEO PAGADO"(Postage Paid) imprints were made available. Examples of soldier mail from the seventy four day war are very rarely on the philatelic market, as probably most are still held by the families or were discarded, and so are in demand and expensive. 

The 18 Peso imprinted stamp has a special "ISLAS MALVINAS" cancel dated 6 ABR 1982 (only four days after the invasion), and this may be the first day of use of the aerograms.

Early provincial stamps

The first period in the political history of Argentine postage stamps is the so-called Classical one between the first stamps (1856) and the first commemorative ones (1892). The earliest Argentine stamps were issued by the separate provinces of Corrientes (1856-78), Cordoba (1859-62), and Buenos Aires (1858-59). The mere existence of these provincial stamps reflects the reality that Argentina was hardly a single organized country in that period, but rather a loose federation of some very independent provinces.

There is a charming story surrounding the preparation of the Corrientes 1856 stamp: that it was designed and engraved by a bakers delivery boy, Matias Pipet, who had served as an apprentice to a French engraver before arriving in Corrientes. Since no one in the Corrientes provincial government had any experience preparing stamps, the boy was asked to undertake the task, and he simply copied the stamp he knew best, an early French stamp bearing the head of the Roman goddess of agriculture, Ceres.
