Item Description

The item in this listing is a single used Hawaiian postage stamp listed in Scott as #35, and first issued in 1875. This stamp is cancelled with what appears to be a square grid cancel used at Hilo during this period.

The stamp also has features which identify it as being part of the first printing of 1875.

The history of the stamp is as follows:

This stamp shows the portrait of King Kalakaua, (reigned 1874 – 1891) the final King but not final reigning sovereign of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

Scott #35 was issued as the primary, “workhorse” definitive of the Hawaiian definitive series. It paid the basic domestic letter rate, and as such, stamps of this design were printed in the millions and saw wide use. Two cents could also have paid other rates, mostly printed matter rates and (after the rate was introduced) post cards sent internationally in the UPU period (1882 – 1900).
