 1864, 1c Black, Laid
(23). Plate 8-A, Type I, Position 1, large margins all around,
cancelled by heavily impressed strike of square grid (tied thru by sharp
ends of bars), used with pair of 1864 2c Rose Vermilion (31), tied
by matching square grid, and United States 1863 5c Brown (76), tied

referring to an inter-island schoonerTHE ONLY RECORDED COMPLETE COVER FRANKED WITH ANY OF THE ONE-CENT HAWAIIAN NUMERAL ISSUES In our records (and this sale) there is a cover front from the Catholic Mission correspondence with an 1863 1c Numeral (see lot 4076), but we do not know of another complete cover with any of the 1c Numeral issues, which were intended for inter-island newspapers and saw very limited use. This cover is properly franked for the 5c Hawaiian rate and originated in Hilo, based on the use of the black square grid in 1866. When found, the left edge of the cover had been cut off and the bottom was roughly opened. The left 10mm of the envelope and part of another 2c stamp have been added to improve the appearance. The bottom edge has been reduced slightly for the same reason. There is some minor toning, but overall the cover is quite attractive and the 1c Numeral is Extremely Fine. Viewed from the back of the address panel, embossment from the corner of the strongly impressed grid can be seen behind the 1c stamp, confirming that the stamp originated on this cover. Ex Van Dyke, Burns and Honolulu Advertiser. With 1970 P.F. certificate. Listed but unpriced in Scott. (Image) |
