Hawaii, Philippines
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
315   ImageHAWAII, 1851, 5c Blue (2). Crocker Type II with the distinctive small "n" in "Cents" (found only on the 5c Type II) -- the righthand position in the setting of two -- perfect bold jet-black strike of Crossed Bars cancel (Gregory Type Cross 20), appears to have four large even margins, expertly repaired at right with small piece of paper added and portion of design painted in

316   ImageHAWAII, 1851, 13c Blue, "Hawaiian Postage" (3). Crocker Type II -- the righthand position in the setting of two -- ample to large margins except touching at lower right, cancelled by red Honolulu circular datestamp showing part of integral "U.S. Postage Paid" and a second San Francisco circular datestamp in a different shade of orange-red, small thins and a sealed tear

VERY FINE APPEARING EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 13-CENT "HAWAIIAN POSTAGE" MISSIONARY, CANCELLED BY THE RED HONOLULU AND SAN FRANCISCO DATESTAMPS AND IN FAR BETTER CONDITION THAN OFTEN SEEN.

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 . Nine off-cover 13c "Hawaiian Postage" stamps are recorded with the Honolulu marking (one in the Tapling collection and another only a fragment). This stamp, with small faults but without any paper restoration, is very desirable.

Siegel Census No. 3-II-CAN-112. Ex Hind and Admiral Harris. With 1994 P.F. certificate. The Scott Catalogue notes that "values are for examples with minor damage that has been skillfully repaired." (Image)

317 ng ImageHAWAII, 1852, 13c Blue, "H.I. & U.S. Postage" (4). Crocker Type II -- the righthand position in the setting of two -- unused (no gum), framelines show on all four sides, rebacked and some minor repairs, but the design is complete and original

FINE APPEARING AND EXTREMELY RARE UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 1852 13-CENT "H.I. & U.S. POSTAGE" MISSIONARY. ONLY SEVEN UNUSED COPIES ARE AVAILABLE TO COLLECTORS.

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 only eight unused examples, including the stamp in the Tapling collection at the British Library, which is probably not unused, but unavailable in any case. This example is relatively attractive without any repainting of the design.

318° c ImageHAWAII, 1853, 13c Dark Red, Thick White Wove (6). Large margins all around including sheet margin at bottom, "tied" by vertical file fold, red "Honolulu*U.S. Postage Paid*May 13" (1854) circular datestamp on blue folded letter datelined "Hilo Oayhu April 23" and addressed to Wm. L. M. Phelps in Albany N.Y. (a prominent railroad executive), horizontal pair of United States 1851 3c Dull Red, Ty. II (11A), large margins to slightly in, affixed over 13c and all stamps tied by "San Francisco Cal. 16 Jun." circular datestamp, San Francisco "Paid" handstamp at left, 3c pair with tear at top, right stamp has vertical crease where folded back to display Hawaiian stamp

FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE PASTE-OVER COMBINATION OF 1853 13-CENT KAMEHAMEHA III ISSUE AND UNITED STATES 3-CENT 1851 ISSUE. VERY DESIRABLE WITH THE HONOLULU POSTMARK AND SAN FRANCISCO "PAID".

This cover was carried on the bark Wavelet, which departed Honolulu on May 16, 1854, and arrived in San Francisco on June 8. From there it was sent to Panama on the Sonora, which departed on June 16 and arrived on June 29.

The 13c stamp prepaid the 5c Hawaiian postage, 2c ship captain's fee and 6c transcontinental rate. The short-lived practice of applying United States stamps (6c postage) over the 13c Hawaiian stamp was likely intended to avoid confusion over whether or not U.S. postage had been prepaid. The postmaster in Honolulu affixed the U.S. stamps to cover up the Hawaiian postage, and the letter was postmarked in San Francisco without applying a "Ship" or rate mark (although in this case it was marked "Paid"). The 2c ship fee was credited to San Francisco in the regular accounting.

319° c ImageHAWAII, 1853, 13c Dark Red, Thick White Wove (6). Large margins, bright color, used with pair of United States 1851 3c Dull Red, Ty. I (11), large margins to just in, affixed over Hawaiian stamp, tied by "San Francisco Cal. 16 Nov." (1854) circular datestamp on cover to Otis B. Oakman in North Marshfield Mass., without Honolulu postmark but a well-known correspondence of Hawaiian origin, some edge tears and soiling, 3c stamps with faults including crease from displaying underlying stamp

FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE PASTE-OVER COMBINATION OF THE 1853 13-CENT KAMEHAMEHA III ISSUE AND UNITED STATES 3-CENT 1851 ISSUE.

The San Francisco Nov. 16 (1854) postmark date coincides with the preparation of the mail carried to Panama on the Golden Age, which departed on Nov. 16 and arrived on Nov. 28. Without any indication of the origin date in Honolulu, we cannot pinpoint one of the various ship sailings that arrived in San Francisco before Nov. 16 and after the prior sailing for Panama in November.

The 13c stamp prepaid the 5c Hawaiian postage, 2c ship captain's fee and 6c transcontinental rate. The short-lived practice of applying United States stamps (6c postage) over the 13c Hawaiian stamp was likely intended to avoid confusion over whether or not U.S. postage had been prepaid. The postmaster in Honolulu affixed the U.S. stamps to cover up the Hawaiian postage, and the letter was postmarked in San Francisco without applying a "Ship" or rate mark. The 2c ship fee was credited to San Francisco in the regular accounting.

Used with 1c and 10c 1851-55 Issues, unusually and artistically arranged on a small envelope with small "Paid" in sender's hand and a neat address to Berlin Mass., the stamps were trimmed of all margins by the artist, who probably considered extra paper unsightly (so type characteristics also trimmed), lightly struck red "Honolulu U.S. Postage Paid" large circular datestamp ties 5c and 1c at right, carried by the Yankee (cleared Jul. 12, arrived Aug. 2), upon arrival the San Francisco office cancelled and tied each stamp with its "San Francisco Cal. Aug. 5, 1858" circular datestamp, small ink stain at center is trivial

VERY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL AND UNUSUAL FRANKING AND ARRANGEMENT OF STAMPS PAYING THE 5-CENT HAWAIIAN POSTAGE PLUS 12-CENT U.S. POSTAGE FOR THE 10-CENT TRANSCONTINENTAL RATE AND 2-CENT SHIP CAPTAIN'S FEE.
