Honolulu, aerial view
This would be a suitable card to use in a group comparison of how the city has changed over time. Mailed from Honolulu in 1983, with stamp and postmark, it identifies many of the key locations, in the reverse caption. Grade: 1
-
(Honolulu), The Oceania, Floating Restaurant
We wrote (Honolulu) like that because the card doesn’t say where this restaurant was — but a quick search told us. The card was mailed in 1976, with 9-cent stamp and partial postmark. Rumour has it the restaurant was later towed to Hong Kong after it closed down, but we can’t see it out our window here so we can’t verify that. Grade: 2

-
Maui, Hana
Unused card, rounded corners, showing “Maui’s most beautiful coastline”. Grade: 1
-
Aloha from Hawaii
Mailed from Hong Kong to Hong Kong, with stamp and postmark. The card’s great but the grade reflects that it was mailed from somewhere else. Grade: 3
