Here's George Washington wearing a nice, Hawaiian SON from 1933.

Can anyone identify the T.H. perfin?
(Would have to assume the H. stands for Hawaii.)

Here's the complete cover showing both perfins along with a not-so-lonely George on a stamped envelope.

That's a great cancel Modern

. I haven't done much reading on perfins yet. But as I find them they go into an envelope. This will be one of my now day projects.

The only thing I can figure is it stands for "Totally Honest."

Could the T stand for Territory?

By George, that is an excellent guess!
It very well could.

It did become a territory in 1900, and a state in 1959. The University was known as UH.

However Sf was on the right track.

T.H.: 1: Territory of Hawaii, when used in a postmark. 2: perforated on stamps of Hawaii for official use.
