OK not so sure about this bottle opener / cast iron hula girl. Here's the story of mine. I bought her from a store in New Jersey - it was a nautical store that was going out of business so everything was half price and this was back in 2004. From what I remember she was in area of the store with cast iron figures mostly the same size I think there was a mermaid and a fisherman guy in the yellow coat / pipe ect. I also want to say they were packaged in multipule holders like they were shipped together from the same company sorta like an egg holder / something you could hold matchbox type cars in. There was also the Large cast iron girl in the same area, but I'm not sure if they were from the same manufacturer. It didn't seem like this was a "special" find since there were so many of the same type cast iron figures in the store. If it matters the store was located in Long Beach Island and sold new and a few old/antique items. I think with the previous link to the online store and fact that these Hula girls did not seem like crazy cool Nautical treasures (that could have been th ename of the store by the way) I'm doubting that they are very old like from the forties or earlier. Don't get me wrong they are cool I'm just trying to shed some light on what I know.





Larger girl - could be same company - could not?- But bought in the same place
