I recently picked up some nice paper items from the New York World's Fair. The first is a photo holder from the Restaurant of the 5 Vocanos. The outside has the standard restaurant logo with the Mod font. The picture shows the inside of the restaurant with a couple of bee-hive gals posing with the friendly staff and enjoying their 5 Volcano Rum Punch served in traditional Pineapples. The second set of items are two brochures from the restaurant. The larger brochure gives an explanation of the Luau with an "action" photo. You can even see a tiki hiding out in the back. And then a Luau menu. The brochure also contains a photo of a model of the Hawaiian Pavilion and a description of the facilities. Interesting to note that their was a Lava Pit Bar and a Sandwich Isle Bar. First time I had heard about those venues. There were also outrigger canoe rides! The second brochure contains and updated menu with higher prices so I am assuming it came out later. I really enjoy the old World's Fair Hawaiian/Polynesian themed items. DC |
