image Hawaii, (Maui) Kaupo, Lulai 20. Manuscript town and date postmark (803, 1RRRR) on 1875, 2¢ brown, with additional target handstamp cancel, Very Fine, an extremely rare Kaupo manuscript cancel and unlisted with dateline with Hawaiian spelling of the month of July.
Scott No. 35; Estimate $500 - 750.

A RARE HAWAII USE WITH LESS THAN 15 COVERS KNOWN WITH THE SAN FRANCISCO MARKINGS STRUCK IN BLUE.

The Gregory book (Vol. 1, p. 255) notes that blue ink was introduced in the San Francisco office in September 1852, but that the earliest use on Hawaii-related mail is Dec. 1, when some prepaid covers were marked with blue ink and others in black. From Dec. 15, 1852, to Jan. 15, 1853, prepaid covers from Hawaii were marked in blue, while collect covers were marked in black. The exception is Jan. 15, when both collect and prepaid covers were marked in blue.

This cover was carried on the American Brig "Zoe" that departed Honolulu Nov. 22nd 1852 and arrived in San Francisco on Dec. 12th. From there it was carried on the PMSC "Tennessee" that departed Dec. 16th and arrived in Panama on Dec. 31st, then by the USMSC "Illinois" that departed Aspinwall Jan. 2nd 1853 and arrived in New York on Jan. 13th.
