THE KAHULUI RAILROAD COMPANY ISSUE OSTENSIBLY USED ON COVER. The
Kahului Railroad Co. stamps with "H.I." handstamp are surrounded by
controversy, with some believing that this marking was fabricated later and
applied to remainders. This is the sole surviving cover with the handstamp
used as a cancel. Although the stamps were intended to be used in receipt
books, it is possible that this represents a legitimate use on cover. The
accompanying 1984 P.F. certificate supports this cover's
genuineness. Ex Pietsch. With 1984 P.F. certificate. (Image) |
