AN OUTSTANDING COVER IN GEM CONDITION AND ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT COVERS OF CLASSIC HAWAIIAN PHILATELY.

The addressee of this cover, Warren Goodale (1825-1899), was Lucy (Goodale) Thurston's nephew, one of the early missionaries arriving in Hawaii in 1820 with the Pioneer Company of Missionaries. The Goodale family were prominent members of Marlborough (Marlboro), Massachusetts, dating back to the mid-18th century. Warren Goodale was born in Marlborough in 1825, he traveled to Hawaii in 1849, where he served as a tutor at the Royal School in Honolulu before being appointed Marshal of the Kingdom and later Collector of Customs. Following the death of his wife, in 1861, he returned with his family to Massachusetts and enlisted in the Union Army during the Civil War. After his service, he resettled in Hawaii and became active in the sugar industry.

Although the cover bears no year date, its address to Warren Goodale in Honolulu establishes that it was mailed prior to his resignation as Collector of Customs in December 1863. The manuscript "3" handstamp may indicate 3¢ U.S. postage, consistent with a September 11, 1863 mailing from Marlborough after the July 1863 reduction of the U.S. rate to California to 3¢. The 13¢ Hawaiian franking would leave a 10¢ credit, sufficient to satisfy the 7¢ Hawaiian charge (5¢ inland postage plus 2¢ ship fee). The absence of San Francisco and Honolulu transit markings is typical for mail to Hawaii during this period.

The Hawaiian adhesive was likely conveyed to Massachusetts by a member of the Goodale family. Its acceptance on outbound mail to Hawaii appears to have been permitted by the Marlborough post office - possibly in recognition of the "United States 8 Cts." inscription on the stamp, the family's standing in the community, or both. From there, the cover would have traveled via San Francisco before onward transmission to Honolulu. (Image1)

Scott No. 7; $10,000.

A LOVELY USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 5-CENT ON 13-CENT PROVISIONAL SURCHARGE.

The 5¢ provisional surcharge was necessary due to a shortage of 5¢ stamps just after the transition from Postmaster Whitney to Jackson. Most were made by Jackson's clerk, Alvah Clark, around the start of 1857. New supplies of the 5¢ stamp (Scott No. 8) were received at the end of June 1857. (Image1)

SECOND EARLIEST RECORDED USAGE OF THE MANUSCRIPT SURCHARGE '5' ON THE 1853 13¢ STAMP.

The 5¢ provisional surcharge was necessary due to a shortage of 5¢ stamps just after the transition from Postmaster Whitney to Jackson in mid-1856. Most were made by Jackson's clerk, Alvah Clark, around the start of 1857. New supplies of the 5¢ stamp (Scott No. 8) were received at the end of June 1857.

Sent on the Bremen ship "Post" (dep. Honolulu Feb. 16, 1857; arr. SF Mar. 19), then on the PMSC steamer "Golden Gate" for Panama (dep. S.F. Mar. 20), but returned for repairs, sailed again Mar. 23, arriving at Panama City Apr. 4. After crossing the isthmus by rail, it departed Aspinwall Apr. 4, 1857 on the USMSC Steamer "George Law" arriving in New York Apr. 13.

ONE OF THE FIVE EARLIEST RECORDED COVERS MARKED "OVERLAND" AT SAN FRANCISCO.

The 'OVERLAND' handstamp was applied by the San Francisco post office to indicate onward transmission by the Butterfield Southern Route, as opposed to the Panama route. Fourteen Hawaii covers are recorded by Frajola with the 'OVERLAND' marking, starting in October 1859, with the latest usage at San Francisco being February 13, 1860. The cover offered here shows pre-payment of postage by stamps of both Hawaii and the U.S., 5¢ Hawaiian and 12¢ U.S for the 10¢ transcontinental rate and 2¢ for the ship fee.

Scott No. 9; Estimate $10,000 - 15,000.

ONE OF ONLY EIGHT HAWAIIAN COVERS BEARING THE SAN FRANCISCO "FOREIGN" MARKING, AND ONLY TWO OF THESE BEAR THE 2¢ BLACKJACK.

The "FOREIGN" handstamp used at San Francisco is only recorded on Hawaii covers for a brief 3 week period (Sep. 3-Sep. 23, 1864), and was applied erroneously by the San Francisco post office on Hawaii mail, since Hawaii had an "arrangement already concluded", i.e., the 1850 Hawaii-United States treaty. As per the provisions of Hawaii's Act of July 1, 1863, Hawaiian postage was set at 5¢ Hawaiian, plus 5¢ for delivery to the United States (including the 2¢ ship fee). After passage of the United States' Postal Act of July 1, 1864, the San Francisco postmaster Perkins began incorrectly applying the new U.S. "blanket foreign rate" of 10¢ thinking it applied to Hawaiian mails, which it did not. After Perkins received notice of his error from the U.S. Postmaster General, the "FOREIGN" handstamp on Hawaiian mail was discontinued, sometime before Nov. 7, the date of Perkin's letter to Kalakaua acknowledging restoration of the 1863 rates, i.e., 3¢ US postage plus 2¢ ship fee. The confusion in Hawaii over what the actual rate was for mail addressed to the United States would last until December 3,1864, when the letter from Perkins actually arrived in Hawaii.---Discussed in detail in Fred Gregory's books "Hawaii Foreign Mail to 1870", Vol. II, pgs. II-180-185, Fig. 17-34. Illustrated in the Meyer-Harris book "Stamps of Hawaii", pg. 74.
