Looks like a nice bunch of stereo cards...
All either Keystone or Underwood & Underwood.
The ones that you have usually came in box sets... like Keystone's "Tour Of The World"
From what I have read, there was an Underwood & Underwood series of cards on The Hawaiian Islands and The Phillipines that was put out about 1908.
(probably where your Underwood & Underwood cards come from) That set had 100 cards in it, and a 1991 price guide listed it at $300-$400
The same price guide has individual Hawaiian cards listed... Most individual cards listed after 1893 (the year that the Hawaiian Islands were annexed by the US) were shown as $1-$5 with one card (Keystone 10686) listed $10-$12.
pre-1893 cards went for slightly more from $5-$30. Most of these earlier views were sold to missionary societies back on the mainland.
Keep in mind the prices listed were from 1991. I'm not sure what they would go for these days... :wink:

Also, a neat thing to note is that the curve on the Keystone cards that people sometimes mistake for a warping due to time and heat is actually one of their trademarks... The curve is supposed to reduce glare on the cards to make them easier to view.
