Item Description
purple ink CDS cancel identifiable as Meyer-Harris type 255.12, applied at Hanalei on the island of Kaua`i. THIS CANCEL IS A RARITY 4 ON THE MEYER-HARRIS SCALE, EQUATING TO BETWEEN 150 AND 250 EXAMPLES. This cancel is a bit blurry, but this is typical of the cancel. The cancel is clearly identifiable from the letters “LEI” from the end of the town name, as well as the letters “P.O.” afterwards. Part of the month, “May,” also printed.The stamp is on piece, and is not damaged—although a portion of the piece is missing from beneath the lower left corner of the stamp.
Please see scan for details.
The history of the stamp is as follows:
Stamps using this design were first issued in 1875, and are listed in Scott as #35. Scott #35, however, is a dark brown in colour, whereas #43 was issued in carmine rose in late 1884. Scott #35 and #43 were both issued in large quantities, and each was the primary “workhorse” definitive stamp of its’ day, paying the standard domestic postage rate from its’ date of issue until the end of Hawaiian postal independence in June of 1900. Why the colour was changed is unclear, but two other stamps of this design were issued--#38 (“lilac rose”) in 1882, and #43a (“dull red”) in 1883. Each of these colours was for whatever reason unsuitable. Other stamps from the early 1880’s show similar colour changes, indicating that the post office was searching for some sort of suitable mix of colours or something similar.
