One is holding the swizzles. They are simple; red paint with the maiden from the matchbook and the name of the bar as far as I remember. They might only have the maiden. Someone here must have one and hopefully will post it. Same size and shape as the classic 'Don Ho Suck 'em up' bucket. I do not own one or I would have used it in Waikiki Tiki: Art, History and Photographs. As a point of interest, I have been unsuccessful in my MANY efforts over the years to trade for one of the three I have because no matter what I offered... "This is a museum, sir. That glass is government property and not for trade. You could donate your item(s) to the museum, but there is no guarantee we'd use it in the exhibit. There's be forms and authentication issues..." I DO urge that you visit the museum when in Waikiki. The kids really liked seeing guns and tanks. There are replica feather masks and Hawaiian weapons. Loads of info. You will love the Rocky Jensen sculptures. Plus, as a bonus, my book IS available at the U.S. Army Museum of the Pacific at Battery Randolph giftshop. The guy that runs it is VERY cool. Moving on.. Today's outtake is a side view of the maori gable at the now closed Hawaiian Hut*
