Item Description

The stamp in this listing is for one example of Hawai`i #75 with a very light cancel of uncertain type. This stamp has attached selvage on the left-hand side.

This one has short perfs and a small tear. It is being sold with that in mind.

Please see scan for details.

The history of the stamp is as follows:

Scott #75 shows a view of Honolulu Harbour as it would have appeared from the Pacific Ocean in the 1890’s. This stamp was first issued on February 28, 1894, as part of the “Pictoral” series issued by the Republic of Hawai`i.

This value was the “workhorse” definitive stamp of late-1890’s Hawai`i, as it paid the basic domestic letter rate as well as the rate for postcards sent to other countries in the Universal Postal Union (UPU.) These stamps were printed by the American Bank Note Company of New York, although this particular stamp was subject to numerous double transfer errors, incorrectly entered plates, etc.
