AND FRESH AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED.  IT IS THE

$5.00 RE-ISSUE PRINTED IN 1910 BY THE AMERICAN

BANK NOTE COMPANY.  THE KINGDOM OF HAWAII HAD

ORIGINALLY ISSUED A REVENUE WITH THIS DESIGN

IN 1879 AS PART OF IT'S FIRST SET OF REVENUES.

IT WAS ROULETTED 8, WHEREAS THIS REISSUE WAS

PERFORATED 12.  BUT BY 1909 THE TERRITORY GOVT

OF HAWAII REPORTED THAT ONLY 150 STAMPS REMAINED

FROM THE ORIGINAL 14,000 PRINTED.  NEW STAMPS

WERE ORDERED AND PLACED INTO SERVICE IN DEC 1909.

WHILE MINT NEVER HINGED BLOCKS OF THIS REVENUE

WERE ONCE READILY AVAILABLE, THE SURGE IN DEMAND

FOR HAWAIIAN STAMPS OVER MANY YEARS HAS DEVOURED

MOST DEALERS' INVENTORY.  THIS BLOCK IS IN EXQUISITE

CONDITION AND CENTERING.  THE COLLECTOR WHO ACQUIRES

IT WILL BE BOTH PROUD AND FORTUNATE TO ADD IT TO

THEIR ALBUM OR EXHIBIT.
