VERY FINE. A COLORFUL COVER FROM HAWAII TO THE UNITED STATES WITH A RARE COMBINATION OF STAMPS FOR THE DOUBLE 10-CENT RATE PLUS 2-CENT SHIP CAPTAIN'S FEE.

The weight increments applied only to the postage component, not the 2c ship captain's fee. This cover was prepaid in Honolulu with double 5c Hawaiian postage (in cash or charge) plus the double 10c U.S. postage and 2c ship captain's fee. The use of 1c and 3c 1861 stamps for the additional rate is extremely unusual.

Paid Jul. 5" foreign-mail exchange office circular datestamp, large red crayon "2" cents credit to G.B., London Jul. 26, 1870 receiving datestamp at upper left

VERY FINE. THIS IS THE ONLY RECORDED EXAMPLE OF THIS MIXED-ISSUE AND MIXED-COUNTRY FRANKING FROM HAWAII. ONE OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING UNITED STATES AND HAWAIIAN MIXED-FRANKING COVERS EXTANT.

This small cover to Miss Lane in London was franked with a 5c Hawaiian stamp for internal postage, plus a total of 16c U.S. postage, comprising the 10c rate for contract steamer mail from Hawaii and the 6c treaty rate to Great Britain. It was carried on the last sailing of the U.S.-Hawaii treaty period, just before the new postal convention between the U.S. and Hawaii took effect on July 1, 1870. The cover was carried on the COMSS steamer Ajax, departing Honolulu on June 23, 1870, and arriving in San Francisco on July 4 (http://hawaiianstamps.com/latetreaty.html).

The meaning of the "2" markings on transit mail via San Francisco has only recently been explained. Research by Richard Frajola and reiterated by Michael Laurence in his recently-published book on 10c 1869 covers (pages 305-307) proves that the 2c credit was required by the 1868 U.S. Postal Convention with Great Britain on each letter originating outside the United States and addressed to the United Kingdom. The 2c credit markings are found on covers originating in Japan and sent via the San Francisco exchange office (from there the mail passed through New York in closed bags). However, the application of this credit on mail originating in Hawaii is extremely unusual. A similar cover-front from Hawaii to England, carried on the same sailing and also bearing the "2" credit marking, was offered in our Sale 784 (lot 2215).

Jul. 5" circular datestamp, expertly restored along right edge

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A COLORFUL AND RARE MIXED-ISSUE AND MIXED-COUNTRY FRANKING FOR THE DOUBLE CONTRACT RATE. THE 15-CENT LINCOLN IS EXCEEDINGLY RARE ON COVERS FROM HAWAII.

Like the cover offered in lot 2066, this cover was carried on the last sailing of the U.S.-Hawaii treaty period, just before the new postal convention between the U.S. and Hawaii took effect on July 1, 1870. The cover was carried on the COMSS steamer Ajax, departing Honolulu on June 23, 1870, and arriving in San Francisco on July 4 (http://hawaiianstamps.com/latetreaty.html). Since this cover was bound for a domestic address, it was not handled by the San Francisco foreign-mail exchange office, therefore, it has the small circular datestamp instead of the large magenta datestamp on the cover offered in lot 2066.
