A VERY FINE UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 13-CENT "HAWAIIAN POSTAGE" MISSIONARY.

There are seven unused examples of the 13c "Hawaiian Postage" Missionary recorded in our census, which is available at http://siegelauctions.com/dynamic/census/HI3/HI3.pdf , including four that have repairs. Although we count this stamp among the repaired examples, the sealed tear is very minor and does not involve any paper restoration or painting in of the design -- the other three repaired copies have paper addition and repainting.
