AN EXTREMELY RARE AND UNUSUAL HAWAIIAN AND UNITED STATES MIXED FRANKING.

This cover is from the Fifth Sub-Period of the Late Treaty Period. As a double-rate cover, the 5¢ Hawaiian postage correctly prepays two-times the 5¢ rate, but the U.S. postage was underpaid at 8¢. The sender perhaps thought the rate was only two-times the 3¢ letter rate plus the 2¢ ship fee. Est. $2,000-3,000 (Image)

Est. $2,000-3,000
