Picked up a few hawaii and was curios if anyone knows the origin of this cancel. Top corner is not pretty but most others don't have a good cancel.

It looks like Lihue, Hawaii.

Nice! Hawaii is a popular collecting area that always has a high wholesale value.

The cancel is for Lihue, on the island of Kauai of the Hawaiian Islands.

I had heard that various postmarks from the islands can command really high returns on otherwise lower value stamp. 2 of these have the same Lihue cancel although the other is barely readable. The 2 provisionals and coat of arms were mixed in with a hodge podge I almost dumpped on the scanner and although the 25cent air is not hawaii per say it sorta fits with the honolulu cancel. Now if only the earlier A1-A5 were floating around I'd be sittin pretty.
