Haven't posted any pics of my finds for awhile so here's a few things that have followed me home this year:

Letter opener and flicker key chain

1942 Magazine sent home from a serviceman to his honey. Small souvenir plate.

Vintage Matson lighter and Pacific Far East Lines 1970's ashtray

Found a bag of these new bookmarks which have a strip of real tapa on one side and the story of tapa on the other. Each tapa piece is different and I have plenty so if you would like to trade for swizzles or matchbooks I don't have, we can do a traderoo. P M me.

Large moai mug from the Fireside restaurant in Wisconsin

Vintage platter with bamboo pattern

I will probably never forget finding these Don the Beachcomber mugs because they were at a yard sale that was not really open until the next day but I saw them sitting on a porch rail as I drove by and from the street I went "WHOA, those are about to be mine!" I talked the lady into calling her husband who wasn't there in order to get a price quote. I had never seen that mug in person before then. The tiki on the right is not a mug but a vintage wall pocket.

Finally ran across a couple of old restaurant menus in the wild!
Both from the Dobbs House Luau, one is a dinner menu, the other a drink menu. Look at those prices!

Not sure which location these came from. I think they may date from the early 1960's.

It is interesting to note the top of the drink menu says:
"THESE FAMOUS DRINKS CAN BE SERVED ONLY IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN RUM OR LOCKER HERE"

I'd love to have my own bottles of rum stashed all over town. Sorta like an urban Jack Sparrow would I be Yarrrrrr.
