Horizontal strip of three overpaying 5c Hawaiian postage, cancelled by three-ring targets struck three times (avoiding the U.S. stamps) on small cover to Miss Lucy Tillman in San Francisco, additionally stamped at origin with 1c Blue (63) and 3c Rose (65) tied by target cancels of San Francisco, paying the old 4c rate for mail addressed to San Francisco, bold red “Honolulu U.S. Postage Paid May 23” (1867) circular datestamp, part “San Francisco Cal. Jun. 6” double-circle with slug instead of yeardate, pencil “1864” on back possibly refers to issue date of Hawaiian stamps, strip with perf faults from placement at top including small piece out of right stamp, cover with very minor toning VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A SPECTACULAR AND RARE FRANKING FROM HAWAII TO SAN FRANCISCO. ESPECIALLY RARE WITH THE ONE-CENT STAMP. This cover is illustrated and discussed in the Gregory book (Volume II, page 175). According to Gregory, it was carried from Honolulu to San Francisco on the American bark Comet (cleared May 23, 1867, arrived June 6). After the Act of March 1863 effectively reduced the city delivery rate in San Francisco from 2c to 1c, the correct prepaid U.S. postage should have been 3c (1c for local delivery plus 2c ship captain’s fee). However, surviving covers show that there was much confusion over the correct amount to prepay. Ex Knapp, Tows, Juhring and Honolulu Advertiser.

10c Green, Ty. I (Scott 31). Position 93L1, original gum, hinge marks, deep rich color and proof-like impression, virtually intact perforations at left and bottom which preserve the full shell at bottom right (the defining charcteristic of Type I) VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE SOUND ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 10-CENT TYPE I PERFORATED ISSUE. Type I characteristics are only found on the 20 stamps that comprise the bottom row of the plate. Due to narrow spacing on the plate and difficulties in aligning the perforating machine, stamps at the bottom of the plate usually have perforations cutting into the bottom portion of the design. This is a negative, because Type I is defined as having the design complete at bottom. The population of stamps available to collectors showing the type characteristics is extremely limited, especially when other factors such as gum and soundness are taken into consideration. The example offered here, in sound condition and showing the design characteristics, is extremely desirable. With 1994 P.F. certificate Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Apr 2015, Sale 1096, Lot 74 |
