U.S. and Possessions Treasures of Philately from the Irwin Weinberg Inventory continued...

Hawaii
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
132   ImageHAWAII, 1851, 5c Blue (2). Type II--the righthand position in the setting of two with the distinctive small "n" in "Cents" (found only on the 5c Type II)--full margins to barely in along frameline at right, 7-bar grid cancel struck twice in criss-cross fashion, trace of red cancel, light horizontal crease and tiny thin at top

A FINE AND CHOICE APPEARING EXAMPLE OF THE HAWAIIAN 5-CENT MISSIONARY. CONSIDERING THE TYPICAL CONDITION OF THE FRAGILE MISSIONARY STAMPS, THIS IS ESSENTIALLY A SOUND USED EXAMPLE OF THIS MAJOR PHILATELIC RARITY.

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 . The example offered here, neatly cancelled with no major repairs, is a great condition rarity. Our census records only eleven 5c Missionaries off cover that are sound or have only minor faults, such as this example

133 og ImageHAWAII, 1851, 13c Blue, "Hawaiian Postage" (3). Type I--the lefthand position in the setting of two--unused, a beautiful stamp with large to huge margins, bright shade on fresh paper, an internal tear extends vertically between "a" and "w" of "Hawaiian", this has been sealed but the stamp is free of any paper addition or painting in

A VERY FINE UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 13-CENT "HAWAIIAN POSTAGE" MISSIONARY.

There are seven unused examples of the 13c "Hawaiian Postage" Missionary recorded in our census, which is available at http://siegelauctions.com/dynamic/census/HI3/HI3.pdf , including four that have repairs. Although we count this stamp among the repaired examples, the sealed tear is very minor and does not involve any paper restoration or painting in of the design -- the other three repaired copies have paper addition and repainting.

Type II--the righthand position in the setting of two--indistinct cancel leaves entire design clearly visible (certificate states cancelled in red), repaired at top adding portions of the inner and outer framelines, repaired above "13", certificate states discolored from oxidation but this is probably traces of staining from mucilage used to affix the stamp
