The Bernard Faust Collection of U.S. 1863-68 Black Jack Issues continued...

Foreign Mails: Hawaii
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
1427 c Image2c Black (73). Used with 3c Rose (65), both stamps flanking Hawaii, 1861, 5c Blue, Thin Bluish Wove (9), ample to large margins except nicked at bottom (another stamp affixed behind it to improve appearance, but not a repair in the true sense of the word), all three stamps tied at origin by two strikes of "Collectors Office, Hilo Hawaii" oval handstamp, red "Honolulu U.S. Postage Paid May 17" (1865) circular datestamp on cover to Auburn Cal., Honolulu 9-bar square grid cancel ties 5c stamp, "San Francisco Cal. Jun. 12, 1865" double-circle datestamp struck on arrival and 2c tied by San Francisco grid in circle cancel (the 3c with Collectors Office oval was not cancelled again at San Francisco), part of a faint purple handstamp on back that reads "(B)UENOS-AIR(ES)" but we do not know its significance, slightly reduced at right

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE MIXED FRANKING WITH THE HAWAII 1861 5-CENT KAMEHAMEHA III THIRD PRINTING AND UNITED STATES 2-CENT BLACK JACK WITH 3-CENT 1861 PAYING THE RATE TO A DESTINATION OTHER THAN SAN FRANCISCO.

This cover was carried on the American bark D. C. Murray, which departed Honolulu on May 18, 1865, and arrived in San Francisco on June 10 (mail was postmarked on June 12). The 2c and 3c stamps pay the 5c U.S. domestic single letter rate for non-contract mail to a destination beyond San Francisco (the 2c ship fee was inclusive), which went into effect on mail from Hawaii in August 1863 (following the U.S. July 1863 rate change). The 5c Kamehameha III Third Printing is very scarce on cover, and by 1865 the 5c Numeral was usually used on mail bound for the United States (3 to 1 ratio in the Gregory census for this rate period). In 1866 the Kamehameha III and Numeral issues were completely overtaken by the 1866 5c National Bank Note Co. Kamehameha V issue. Furthermore, the usual U.S. franking in this period is a 5c 1863 stamp -- Black Jack frankings on covers from Hawaii are rare in any period, but especially so in combination with Hawaiian stamps.

1428 c Image2c Black (73). Used with 3c Rose (65) and Hawaii, 1866, 5c Blue (32), 5c rounded corner, all stamps tied by cogwheel cancels, 2c tied by "San Francisco Cal. Oct. 8" double-circle datestamp (no year, pencil "1866") on cover to A. M. R. Fitzsimmons in Reading Pa., blue crayon "5", two thirds of backflap removed, small edge tears and slight wear

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE UNITED STATES AND HAWAIIAN MIXED FRANKING WITH THE 2-CENT BLACK JACK AND 5-CENT KAMEHAMEHA V ISSUE.

Based on the use of the 5c 1866 Issue, this cannot be any earlier than 1866. By October 1867 the 10c blanket ship-letter rate applied to mail arriving on a contract steamer; however, mail from non-contract vessels was still rated at 5c (2c ship fee plus 3c domestic postage). The October 8 San Francisco datestamp coincides with the arrival of the contract steamer Idaho on October 8, 1867, but this is prepaid only 5c. The absence of Hawaiian postal markings suggests it was prepared for mailing in Honolulu, but was handed over to someone boarding the Idaho and was mailed in San Francisco as an ordinary letter. Either that or it was carried by a non-contract vessel and rated 5c.

VERY FINE. AN OUTSTANDING AND RARE UNITED STATES AND HAWAIIAN MIXED-FRANKING COVER TO ENGLAND WITH THE 12-CENT TREATY RATE PAID BY 2-CENT BLACK JACK AND 10-CENT GRILLED ISSUES.

As directed by the sender, this cover was carried on the American bark Ethan Allen, which departed from Honolulu on August 12, 1869, and arrived in San Francisco on September 1. After arrival the mail was datestamped September 3. The Ethan Allen was a non-contract vessel.
