VERY FINE APPEARANCE. THIS IS THE ONLY RECORDED 1851 5-CENT HAWAIIAN MISSIONARY WITH THE "U.S. POSTAGE PAID" CIRCULAR DATESTAMP OF HONOLULU.
The few 5c Missionaries with the Honolulu datestamp present are, in all but this case, cancelled by the "Honolulu Hawaiian-Islands" datestamp, which was used when only the 5c Hawaiian postage was paid and United States postage was collected from the addressee. This example is extraordinary and must have been used in conjunction with other stamps to pay the 2c ship captain's fee and U.S. postage (either 6c or 10c). It is the only 5c, on or off cover, with the Honolulu "U.S. Postage Paid" datestamp used as a cancel. The famous 2c and 5c Missionary cover, last offered in our 2013 sale of the Steven C. Walske collection (Sale 1045, lot 11), also bears this marking.
Siegel Census No. 2-I-CAN-44. Ex Clapp, Admiral Harris and Ishikawa. With 1977 P.F. certificate.
The Scott Catalogue notes that "values are for examples with minor damage that has been skillfully repaired." This stamp does not have any paper or printed design additions, which makes it very nearly "unrepaired." (Image)
VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN ATTRACTIVE EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 1851 5-CENT HAWAIIAN MISSIONARY WITH THE DISTINCTIVE CROSSED BARS CANCELLATION. AN IMPORTANT RARITY FROM THE ATHERTON COLLECTION.
Siegel Census No. 2-II-CAN-50. Ex Henry J. Crocker and Frank C. Atherton (acquired in 1930).
The Scott Catalogue notes that "values are for examples with minor damage that has been skillfully repaired." This stamp does not have any paper additions or repainting, which puts it into the "unrepaired" category. (Image)
VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A STRIKING EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 5-CENT HAWAIIAN MISSIONARY WITH THE EARLY MAGENTA MANUSCRIPT CANCELLATION. FROM THE ATHERON COLLECTION.
Our census of Hawaii No. 2, published in Part 1 of the Honolulu Advertiser catalogue, is available at our website at http://www.siegelauctions.com/dynamic/census/HI2/HI2.pdf . Only five 5c stamps have magenta (or red) manuscript cancellations, which were applied before the use of handstamped cancels.

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. ONE OF THE FEW EXAMPLES OF THE 1851 13-CENT "HAWAIIAN POSTAGE" MISSIONARY WITH UNUSED APPEARANCE.
Our census of Hawaii No. 3, published in Part 1 of the Honolulu Advertiser catalogue, is available at our website at http://www.siegelauctions.com/dynamic/census/HI3/HI3.pdf . It contains 51 used 13c "Hawaiian Postage" Missionaries, most of which have been heavily cancelled by grids. Although this stamp has been treated to remove the manuscript cancellation, it is nonetheless one of the most attractive examples of this Missionary extant.
Siegel Census No. 3-II-CAN-91. Ex Potts, Admiral Harris, Ishikawa and Golden (Collector C). With 1994 P.F. certificate.
The Scott Catalogue notes that "values are for examples with minor damage that has been skillfully repaired." This stamp does not have any paper or design additions (Image)
VERY FINE APPEARING EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 13-CENT "HAWAIIAN POSTAGE" MISSIONARY. AMONG THE FINEST OF THE TEN AVAILABLE EXAMPLES WITH THE DISTINCTIVE "SUGAR CANE" OR "SPONGE" CANCELLATION.
The "sugar cane" or "sponge" cancellation, struck from the cut-off end of a cane or possibly a piece of sponge, is found almost exclusively on the 13c "Hawaiian Islands" Missionary (one 2c is known on piece with a 13c, see Siegel Sale 974, lot 501).
Siegel Census No. 3-I-CAN-100. Ex Ferrary, Burrus, Ishikawa and Golden (Collector C). With 1994 P.F. certificate.

A FASCINATING EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 13-CENT "HAWAIIAN POSTAGE" MISSIONARY TIED ON PIECE BY THE HONOLULU CIRCULAR DATESTAMP.
Siegel Census No. 3-II-CAN-113. Ex Henry J. Crocker and Frank C. Atherton (acquired in 1930). Scott value for a repaired example is $28,000.00 (Image)
VERY FINE APPEARANCE. ONLY TWO HAWAIIAN MISSIONARIES ARE RECORDED WITH THE SAN FRANCISCO "8" CENTS RATE HANDSTAMP. THIS IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE WITH THE COMPLETELY-STRUCK NUMERAL.
The 13c "H.I. & U.S. Postage" Missionary was issued to clear up confusion caused by the earlier "Hawaiian Postage" Missionary. The 13c stamps actually prepaid postage of two different countries -- a unique and remarkable function in worldwide philately -- and after receiving complaints that the first "Hawaiian Postage" 13c stamps were not being accepted as prepayment by receiving post offices, Postmaster Whitney revised the label to read "H.I. & U.S. Postage."
The "8" cents handstamp was applied at San Francisco to prepaid letters to indicate that the 6c U.S. postage and 2c ship captain's fee had been paid. It is usually found on the cover itself; however, as evidenced by this stamp and one other part-strike on piece, the marking was inadvertently struck on Missionaries on occasion.
Siegel Census No. 4-II-CAN-161. Ex Ishikawa. With 1981 P.F. certificate
FINE APPEARING EXAMPLE OF THE 1852 13-CENT "H.I. & U.S. POSTAGE" MISSIONARY.
Our census of Hawaii No. 4, published in Part 1 of the Honolulu Advertiser catalogue and available at our website at http://www.siegelauctions.com/dynamic/census/HI4/HI4.pdf , contains 35 used stamps off cover or on piece plus nine covers.
Siegel Census No. 4-I-CAN-179. Ex Admiral Harris. With 1961 P.F. certificate.
FINE APPEARANCE. THIS IS THE ONLY RECORDED MULTIPLE OF THE 1852 13-CENT "H.I. & U.S. POSTAGE" STAMP, ONE OF TWO KNOWN MULTIPLES OF THE ENTIRE MISSIONARY ISSUE AND THE ONLY MULTIPLE AVAILABLE TO COLLECTORS.
This pair was part of Henry J. Crocker's plating study of the Missionaries, which also included the 13c "Hawaiian Postage" strip on cover, which was subsequently in the Honolulu Advertiser collection and is now part of the permanent collection at the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum. (Siegel Sale 769, lot 29). Together they represent the only known multiples of the Missionaries.
Little is known of the origin of this pair, though it is possible that it emanated from the Dawson find and was removed from a damaged cover. The two positions show an interesting skewed alignment of the framelines. Type II (the right stamp) has the characteristic missing period after the "U" of "U.S."
Siegel Census Nos. 4-I-CAN-167 and 4-II-CAN-168. Ex Henry J. Crocker, Frank C. Atherton (acquired in 1930), Honolulu Academy of Arts and Honolulu Advertiser. With 1995 P.F. certificate.
The Scott Catalogue notes that "values are for examples with minor damage that has been skillfully repaired." These stamps do not have any paper additions or repainting. The Scott value quoted here is for two singles. (Image)
