When something is stamped “Honolulu T.H.” what does that mean?

I have two cigarette lighters that are stamped with "Honolulu T.H." This stamp appears after the hotel address. Can anyone explain what the "T.H." stands for? Additionally, does this designation relate to the time before Hawaii became a state?

You're correct.

"The Territory of Hawaiʻi, abbreviated officially as T.H., was established on July 7, 1898 and dissolved on August 21, 1959 when Hawaiʻi became a state."

Before being nominated as a US State in 1959, the archipelago of Hawaii was call Territory of Hawaii therefore mail stamps or other souvenirs are marked with : Honolulu T.H. meaning that period before being a State

Depending on when your ligthers were made, T.H. could possibly mean Territory of Hawaii. Hawaii became a state in 1959 so anything made before that would be stamped T.H.

Hope that helps.....

Home to the State Capitol, Honolulu may be the lively epicentre of Hawaii and a city worth visit, like you will dsicover with hotelbye . In Honolulu you will find everything from historic landmarks and treasured monuments to world-class shopping and a flourishing arts and tradition scene. Home to many Oahu's citizenry, the expansive town of Honolulu spreads through the entire south-eastern shores of Oahu, from Pearl Harbor to Makapuu Point, encompassing earth famous Waikiki. Pearl Harbor is one of Honolulu's biggest tourist attractions. Though it is house to the Navy's Pacific Fleet, readers may have a tour to see the USS Arizona Memorial, and the USS Missouri.

Maybe it stands for The Hawaiians? IDK, but interesting question. Have a star.
