Willy, In 1936 there were several newspapers that issued these as part of the newspaper. If yours is thicker, it was probably pasted onto a thicker piece of paper and trimmed down.

Yours does differ from the others that I have seen/owned as the paper issuing it isn't written above the picture and it appears the stamp design ends on yours, which it doesn't on the others. Three issuers I have seen are all listed above the photo, they are "Boston American" (also issued some with "Sunday Advertiser"), "Detroit Times", and finally the "Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph".

Interesting piece.
