A RARE ADVERTISING IMPRINT COVER BEARING A COMPLETE SET OF THE 1896 OFFICIAL STAMPS.
All of the few known covers with a complete set of the 1896 Officials are philatelically inspired. However, covers with the regular Honolulu postmark are rarer and considered more desirable than covers with the "Foreign Office" favor cancel.
