Greetings From Ushuaia, Require Info On San Martin Stamps

Greetings from Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego. I'm working on a book on stamps of General San Martín, and I would like to know the history of the first stamps printed by United States in this process by the American Bank Note Company of New York, but even if I wrote nobody answered.

Greetings

Saludos desde Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego. Estoy trabajando en un libro sobre los sellos postales del General San Martín, y me gustaría conocer la historia de los primeros sellos postales, impresos por Estados Unidos de este prócer por la American Bank Note Company de New York, pero por más que escribí no me contesto nadie.

Hi Claudio,

Welcome to the SCF.

I was just working on my Argentina stamps last night and was wondering what General San Martin's claim to fame was.
Maybe you could enlighten me.

Together with Simón Bolívar, San Martín is regarded as one of the Liberators of Spanish South America. He is the national hero of Argentina. The Order of the Liberator General San Martin (Spanish: Orden del Libertador San Martín) in his honor is the highest decoration in Argentina

Without a doubt San Martins image appears to be the most popular on Argentine stamps....i pick up the San Martin stamps with the department initials on them... ministry of finance, Ministry of agriculture etc;. Its fairly easy to have an Argentine back of book collection with all the Officials...

US honered San Martin on two stamps as part of the 'Champion of Liberty' set issued in Feb. 25, 1959. Scott # 1125-6.

I have all series and issued postage stamps of Great Saint Martin, but I lack the information about stamps recorded by the American Bank Note Company of New York. I wrote letters to the bank but I do not have responded, could someone please make information about the recorders of these stamps dating Argentinos year 1867?

Tengo todas las series y sellos postales emitidos del Gran San Martín, pero me falta la información relacionada con los sellos grabados por la American Bank Note Company de New York. Escribí cartas a ese banco pero no me han respondido, alguien podría hacerme el favor de informarme sobre los grabadores de esos sellos Argentinos que datan del año 1.867????
