Item Description

The item in this listing is a single, unused examples of a cut square from a Hawaiian postal stationery envelope issued in 1893. Listed in Scott as #U10.

Scott #U10 was prepared by overprinting the words "Provisional Government: 1893" over the indicia of examples of Scott #U1 which were on hand at the post office following the legally questionable US-led overthrow of the Hawaiian government on 17 January 1893. Both #U12 and #U10 were available to pay several printed matter rates and the intra-post office "drop" domestic rate.

The history of the stamp is as follows:

This envelope was first issued in 1884, without overprint, by the post office of the Kingdom of Hawai`i.

The design of the indicia of this stamp shows an artist's vision of Honolulu harbour as seen from the ocean in 1884. It was printed by the American Bank Note Company of New York, then shipped to Honoulu to be issued.
