 1865, 5c Blue on Blue (21). Pl. 9-A, Ty. IV, close margins showing framelines on three sides, just partly in at bottom, tied by large target cancel, matching black "Honolulu Hawaiian-Islands Nov. 21" cds
overstruck by "Honolulu U.S. Postage Paid Nov. 22" cds on the folllowing day, on cover to New Bedford Mass., the requisite U.S. 5c stamp was applied over the Numeral and tied by S.F. cogwheel with matching "San Francisco Cal. Dec. 3" (1865)
double-circle ds, "New Bedford Mass Dec. 27" double-circle receiving backstamp, the U.S. stamp is no longer present, a trace of cogwheel cancel is visible - most likely the 5c was moved to show Numeral and then lost, illustrated in Meyer-Harris (fig.
70) in its present form, a Very Fine and unusual "Held for Postage" usage (Image Magnifier)Search for comparables |
