Aloha,

I started collecting Hawaii about 5 years ago since moving from my hometown of kaneohe, oahu. i became absolutely intrigued w/hawaii stamps and postal history. scott, i recently found out through your site that my great, great, great grandfather James S. Wight was the Postmaster of Kohala, HI. And that my great, great, grandmother (his daughter) Eliza Yates McKenzie's 3rd Husband (Bond) has covers that are widely collected.

I am currently very interested in town cancels, covers domestic and inter. Your site is phenomenal, and thoroughly enjoyable. I visit your site for reference almost daily. Keep up the excellent work.

Mahalo Nui Loa,

Tony Abraham

I am the great great grandson of Thomas Henry Hobron and I am interested in learning more about his life in New London, CT and especially Hawaii. I collect U.S. and Hawaiian stamps with a collection started by his granddaughter, my grandmother, Gladys Hobron Dyer.

I was pleased to find your article on the Kahului Railroad. My mother told me that growing up in Honolulu in the 20's she remembers sacks of the railroad tokens in her basement, but later they disappeared. I wonder if the RR stamps that were discovered later in a safe came from my grandmother's home.

Anyway, thank you for your wonderful web site. Looking forward to learning more. I have found some covers from the Hobron Drug Company, run by TH's son, Thomas William. TW was at one time the Commodore of the Honolulu Yacht Club and he was the first to welcome Jack London to Honolulu. Jack and Charmian to stayed at his bungalow near Pearl City where Jack wrote To Build A Fire while the Snark was refitted for the rest of his journey to the South Pacific.

Feel free to edit this down, but I have been trying to learn more about my Hawaiian ancestry through stamps and other means. The Hobron line on my grandmother's side goes back to a missionary bookbinder, Henry Dimond. I wish he had kept some of the stamps he used and passed them to his granddaughter, my grandmother.

I collect worldwide, but I primarily concentrate on USA & Possessions, Canada & Provinces, Mexico, Ireland, France and UN. I mainly collect used stamps, except for the UN, for which I have mostly mint. I have not gotten very involved in postal history, primarily because the stamps take enough time. I started searching for Hawaiian stamps over 10 years ago and have a fairly nice collection of Hawaiian issues. However, most of my knowledge about them comes from the Scott catalogues. I was happy to find a link to your site. I will be coming back to learn more. Thank you.

Arie Duits

I am very new to collecting the stamps of Hawaii... I am "tied to Hawaii" by two holidays spent on Maui...and more distant connection by wife's grandfather, Capt. Lionel Dale Douglas, who made stops at Honolulu in the 1930's as Commander of Canadian Pacific's liner Empress of Japan. I am starting from the ground up collecting Hawaiian stamps and am letting Scott be my guide. I am in a learning mode....gullible and easily deceived!

I have been collecting Hawaii for about 30 years primarily town and fancy cancels. Your web site is OUTSTANDING! You are to be greatly commended for making the collecting of Hawaii so much more informative and thus much more enjoyable for both new and old collectors as well.

I collect 19th Century issues of the United States with emphasis on postal history and the franks and handstamps of the Western Express Companies.

I'm Editor of 'The Mayflower', the Journal of the American Stamp Club of Great Britain. We have over 400 members worldwide, but mainly in the UK. Many of our members collect Hawaii, and in that capacity I'm always interested in new finds, and items of interest for publication in our Journal. We run advertisements and a sales and wants column. Rates on request.

Hawaiian postal history & stamps, used and unused. Hawaii is a new, challenging, and very enjoyable collecting area for me. This site has been a tremendous resource, helping me to correctly identify specific issues and postal markings. It has also helped me avoid costly mistakes on purchases of Hawaii stamps that were incorrectly described by sellers. Beware of HI 10 (reproduction) being sold as HI 5. POP is a valuable resource.
