Obviously La Mariana Sailing Club. They were going strong last times we were there. The food while always decent before may have gotten better. Gift shop, too.

There's a Salvation Army on the main drag between the airport and Waikiki - we've pulled a couple artifacts out of there over the years. Usually a fine selection of rattan furniture - probably from people who gave up and moved away. Goodwill in Kaimuki, not too far east of Waikiki isn't bad. Was in there once when an employee rolled out a couple crates of vintage Hawaiian records for a couple of locals to pick through before putting the rest out. Found a Mai Kai mug at Goodwill on Kamehameha Highway in Pearl City.

Tin Can Mailman in Chinatown is a nicely curated shop of vintage Hawaiiana. Not cheap. Phil Roberts took us to a junk shop along the highway in town that had some stuff. I'll post the address if I can find their card.
