Kamehameha I – First King of Hawaii 80 Yr Old Mint Vintage Stamp Block from 1937

Description

A beautiful collectible set of four U.S. postage stamps issued in 1937 to honor Kamehameha I, the First King of Hawaii who united the islands and permitted foreign traders to settle there and to commemorate Hawaii which had become a territory 39 years earlier.
Kamehameha was born into a family of great chiefs around 1758, when the Hawaiian Islands were ruled by several chiefs. He used firearms and cannons purchased from European traders to unify the Islands and by 1785, he conquered all the islands except Kauai and Niihau. In 1810, Kauai and Niihau peacefully accepted Kamehameha as King.
A statue of Kamehameha represents Hawaii in Statuary Hall in the capitol in Washington DC and is the focus of these stamps.
These stamps have never been used and are as fresh as the day they were sold at the Post Office 80 years ago!  Suitable for framing, they would make a great gift for anyone of Hawaiian decent or is interested in the history of these beautiful Islands!
