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):
Ediphila 1980
Kneitschel 1951
Klass 1970
Officials in Kneitschel
