Can anyone help me identify this cancel? I suspect "islands" but can't find any reference to a HK cancel with this, or any foreign cancels on HK stamps with this.

Thanks.

Peter

Possibility this is from the Philippines; anyone have a Philippines cancel to compare?

Hi,

This is a Honolulu, Hawaii arrival postmark.

The full postmark reads "HONOLULU,H.ISLS./REC'D"

There's a description and photo of this in Hong Kong Arrival Markings by Scamp and Fine.

I never thought of the Hawaiian Islands! Thank you.

Cheers,
Peter
