All about the 1p Sunflower - Girasol

[Rein]

The photogravure version issued on 05.12.1961 upon two uncoated papers and then getting coated. Eventually changed from the sheet-fed Mailander to the reel-fed Goebel changing its size on the way. Just one uncoated version in offset-litho!

No further details about when issued .... The Goebel version without watermark in 1970?!

A lot has been written here about the papers and colour shades of the 1c Girasol in GREEN, but nothing about the 1p Girasol in BROWN!

Is it such a boring stamp????

let's look at at Solari - "Parecen Iguales son diferentes"

Solari gets more specific!

Imported paper and thicker vs imported paper and thinner... And of course the uncoated Zárate paper. The coated Zárate paper in two versions as to the UV-reaction of the back.... FF vs NF???? And for the Goebel printing FN vs FF.

What is the NF supposed to be??? Printed on the gummed side???

We get the details of the orientation of the watermarks and the occurrence of the "FT" or "invisible" ... And what is good - the granulado vs the rayado!

What we haven't seen so far is what my experience is with all the other values of the P&R II. The usage of TWO types of photogravure cylinders!

The first one with the direction of printing parallel to the long side of the stamp and the second one with the direction of printing parallel to the short side!

In all cases the first type comes first chronologically!
