Rediscovered this thread a couple of days ago and it reminded me that I've got a bunch of old Hawaiian hotel brochures that I should scan . Here's one from 1961 from The Breakers in Honolulu...apologies if this has been posted before. Not very Tiki-heavy but appealing nevertheless....

Kon-Tiki Viking, thanks for posting this. It IS a cool thread. Your third pic reminds me of some of the Waikikian Hotel brochures too. Wonder if there is a connection, or just one success copying another?

Kon Tiki Viking,
Thanks for posting and bumping this thread back up. It is such a bummer to see the red x's in this one. I thought I would add a few of the older missing postcards from Sabu and Puamana.
These three are from the King Kamehameha hotel in Kona.
Two from the Kauai Surf.
The Naniloa.
The Islander - what a view.
And the Kauai Inn.
I have quite a few more that I will try to post.
DC

DC, great imagery! Please keep posting this stuff. Mahalo for this and all of your other continuing contributions, especially in the Locating Tiki forum. We're looking and enjoying.

Just adding my thanks to D.C. for putting up those amazing images....what I wouldn't give for a time machine right now.
