I've had these two original airbrushed works by "Gill" given to me many years ago hanging in my Tiki Room. I only know a little about them, but I do not know their value. They were produced in the late 1930's in San Francisco and they are in their original "Parmelee" 20"x24" frames. There are a lot of reproductions of these and other works by the same artist. These definitely are not reproductions and I know that these are getting pretty rare and have been real popular with the Hawaiiana crowd.

The two works are a matched set of the “Hawaiian Net Fisher” or, also known as, “Hawaiian Fisherman” #133, and the other is titled, “Woman with Fish” #134.

If anyone has any additional information on the artist and their value, I would sure like to know.

Thanks!
