Aloha...

I have a few items I have been wondering where they came for for a while now. I was hoping someone here can give a stab at the origin/basis of them.

I think this first one is easy. This paddle belonged to my Great Aunt, who was a world traveler. I'm not alone in thinking it came home with her from one of her cruises to Alaska.

The second item, I have no idea where I got...excuse the dust :wink:

The last thing is this pair of paintings. They look like they are paint by numbers. On the back is a sticker for "Van's Art Shop, Artistic Picture Framing, 2604 Jay St. GI. 3-2841". I bought these from an antique store and I recall them being labled as Hawaiian, but they seem Aztec-ish?

Mahalo for any thoughts.
