HAWAII, 1859, 2c Light Blue, Bluish White (13). Plate 3-A, Type II (Westerberg Position 2), large margins to clear, rich color nicely complemented by red "Honolulu Hawaiian-Island Dec. 22" circular datestamp -- struck to frame the stamp, faint corner crease, we also mentioned a few tiny surface scuffs in our Sale 1040, which are all but invisible

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN ATTRACTIVE EXAMPLE OF THE 1859 2-CENT BLUE HAWAIIAN NUMERAL ISSUE CANCELLED BY THE RED HONOLULU DATESTAMP.

Examples of the 2c Blue Numeral with handstamped cancellations are considerably more desirable than pen-cancelled copies.
