A very rare strip of 3 50 Dollar revenue stamps from the Territory of Hawaii. Very short lived as they were replaced by American stamps later. Printed by the American Banknote Company. Based on the design of the Kingdom of Hawaii 50 Dollar stamp, the inscription was changed from the 1876 design to read "Territory" and "OF HAWAII" instead of "HAWAIIAN" and "ISLANDS."

Hawaiian revenue stamps were first issued in 1876. Taxing was a long tradition in Hawaii that predates stamps. The last Hawaiian revenue was produced in 1913. After that US revenue stamps were used.
