Inscription 'HONOLULU HAWAII 1884':

I have seen the values 1 c green, 2 c red, 4 c red, 5 c blue and 10 c black without overprint in the above design. Furthermore I have seen the 1 c green and 5 c blue with red overprint "Provisional Government: 1893". Also the 2 c red with black overprint "Provisional Government 1893".

Bogus stamps

A bogus issue made by the forger 'Jeffryes' in 1886, resembling the statue of Kamehameha.

A value of 2$ red in the same design exists as well. I've also seen them cancelled with two concentric circles with a dot in the center as well as a imperforate 'proof' of the 2$ design.

Railroad stamps

Inscription "KAHULUI RAILROAD COMPANY LIMITED":

These stamps were issued in 1894 in the values: 5 c blue, 6 c red, 10 c red, 15 c green, 18 c black, 25 c yellow, 50 c violet and 1 $ brown. These stamps were used to carry mail on the railroad. Overprints "HI" are known, but could be bogus.
