A forgery produced by the Spiro Brothers of Hamburg, Germany, who forged many early Hawaiian stamps. Their products are lithographed: originals are engraved or typographed. Spiro forgeries of the Hawaii Numerals stamps are easily identified by the defective "E" in the word "postage." (From the US National Postal Museum). This is a nice single on laid paper and a tiny thin at the top, with the distinctive break in the "E". Still a nice way to expand your Hawaiian collection until the real thing comes along. The real item catalogues US$15,000. Estimate =
