Just applying Occam’s Razor here (and believe me, I’d love to be proved wrong). It’s much easier to believe that a poor impression, along with scanning distortion makes “THE” look like “TXE” than the forger going through the effort to make a rubber stamp and then be sloppy enough to leave a typo in it. Or, if you believe the stamp was computer-generated, that the forger would take the time to make it look like an actual stamp impression and again be foiled by a sloppy typo.
Honolulu is the capital and the most populous city of the U.S. state of Hawaii. Honolulu is the southernmost major U.S. city. Although the name “Honolulu” refers to the urban area on the southeastern shore of the island of Oahu, the city and county government are consolidated as the City and County of Honolulu, which covers the entire island
of Oahu
It should have been the COUNTY on the long form if that is what was on the original.
