somestamps exhibit The 1935-51 Definitives of Argentina

Issues of 1951 and later

The later years are marked by a thinning out of values from this series still in use, the Evita issue, and the late 1950s definitives taking over postal duty. For each of the high values between 25c and 2 pesos of the late watermark 1 issue, or 1L issue, there are two to four distinct printings. Below is a selection of 2P1Ls. I term these three stamps, from top to bottom as "milky," "light," and "rust." The "light" printing shares colors with the clay printings, except that it is printed on the same paper as the other 2P1Ls, and not on clay paper. The "rust" printing has a distinctive rusty red frame.

Below is one of the three distinct 5P1L issues, and below it the only type of 10P1L issued.

Below is a very late use of the 5P1L, in 1956, on a registered cover to France. The cover also bears a 10c Rivadavia Brown from the very last printing and a 20c San Martin from a follow-on definitive series.
