Here's some other info, if you're interested. Stuff that I didn't know until just know that I just found on a site.

Savage painted a total of 9 murals in the late 1930s, but because of the outbreak of war, they just sat in storage at Matson until they were finally used as menus with the relaunching of the Lurline in 1948. They were never installed in a ship or building. The menus became so popular that Matson started giving passengers a set of 6 "prints" when they disembarked. This explains why you find so many of the blank menus with nothing inside. They estimate that over a quarter of a million of these menu prints were given out, which makes me start to question some of those you see for sale at such high prices...
