Sale 1247, Lot 803, HawaiiHAWAII, 1883, 2c Rose, Diagonal Bisect Used as 1c (43 var). Lower left half, well-tied by "Kahului Maui Mar. 1, 1887" double-circle datestamp with second strike at left of cover to Waikapu Sugar Co. in Waikapu Maui, Very Fine and very rare, we have encountered only one other example -- a vertical bisect on a locally addressed Maui cover which we described as "philatelically-inspired" in our Twigg-Smith sale -- this use to a commercial address is perhaps more likely to be non-philatelic, a fascinating cover
