Item Description

The item in this listing is a single used Hawaiian postage stamp, on piece, listed in Scott as #35, and issued in 1875. The stamp is used, with a very light cancel of uncertain type, but probably a common type 116 cancel, which is a three-ring target cancel with three dots in the center.

The history of the stamp is as follows:

Stamps using this design were first issued in 1875, and are listed in Scott as #35. This stamp was the “domestic work horse” of the Hawaiian postal system until the early 1880’s, paying the domestic letter rate from 1875 until 1900. It was replaced by a stamp of the same design starting in 1882, but continued to be available from the Honolulu post office as a philatelic item until the early 1890’s. Multiples are known used to pay for heavier mailings, and as international postage.
