Dec. 12, 1859" circular datestamp, on buff cover to Harwinton Conn., also with clear strike of "OVERLAND" handstamp at lower left, some overall cover wear incl. edge tears, 12c affected from placement near edge of cover and also with some slight overall toning FINE. A SCARCE COMBINATION OF THE 1857 5-CENT KAMEHAMEHA III SECOND PRINTING AND UNITED STATES 12-CENT 1851 ISSUE AND ONE OF SIX RECORDED MIXED-FRANKING COVERS WITH "OVERLAND" ROUTE DIRECTIVE MARKING. This cover was carried on the whaling bark Architect, which departed Honolulu on Nov. 17, 1859, and arrived in San Francisco on Dec. 11. It arrived too late for the Dec. 5 sailing for Panama and was marked with the "OVERLAND" handstamp to indicate its late arrival and alternate routing on the next Butterfield stagecoach. The San Francisco Dec. 12 postmark date corresponds with the regular Monday stagecoach departure. This overland mail reached St. Louis on Jan. 2, 1860. Perlman records 14 covers from Hawaii with the "OVERLAND" handstamp, including six with U.S.-Hawaii mixed frankings (all 5c and 12c 1851).

ONLY TWO COVERS RECORDED WITH THIS COMBINATION OF STAMPS. Although the dates in the postmarks are difficult to read, we believe this was carried on the bark Yankee, which departed Honolulu on Feb. 27, 1858, and arrived in San Francisco on Mar. 15 (datestamped Mar. 20 for Panama sailing). The Gregory census reports two covers with Hawaii No. 8 pair and U.S. No. 17 and 33.
