Antique Hawaiian Lava Stone Poi Pounder Medicine Grinder Pestle Coral Shell Crusher Big Island Hawaii Authentic Olivine Mineral Classic Rock

Antique Hawaiian Lava Stone Poi Pounder Medicine by ManHoard

This authentic Hawaiian lava stone was originally a pestle for a mortar but in the days of old Hawaii, it was used for anything needing to be crushed. Medicine grinders were generally shaped a little differently, and some can be seen on display at the Bishop Museum. 
Hawaiians would use a tool like this for everything from pounding poi to grinding medicine, crushing coral shells, sugarcane, and even meat to tenderize it. I live on the Big Island and I showed this item to a few of my Hawaiian friends and their grandmothers and grandfathers, one of which is a retired employee of the Bishop Museum and another is Kahuna, and it is estimated to be from the 1800's. It is full of sparkling green Olivine, other natural minerals , emanating with energy and mana. It has been properly blessed for shipping in case some believe in the ancient superstition of not removing rocks and sand from Hawaii. 
It measures approx. 3.75 inches tall and 2.5 inches at widest point.

The RFK Headlines continue throughout this newspaper: 
What makes this collectible for sports fans and baseball fanatics is a feature article in the sports section about Don Drysdale, probably the world's most famous Dodgers Pitcher. 
The headline reads: Don Chalks Up Another One: Twirls Sixth Straight Shutout.  
The caption below the photo reads, "Another Record - Los Angeles pitcher Don Drysdale fires third strike by Pittsburgh's Bill Mazerowski to set the National League record of 46 and two-thirds consecutive innings.  The old mark was 46 and one-third held by Carl Hubbell in 1933.  In notching his sixth straight shutout, Drysdale raised his total of straight scoreless innings to 54, breaking a record that has stood since 1904."

Hawaii 1986 Sunkist Soda Pop Soft Drink Glass Good by ManHoard

Hawaii 1986 Sunkist Soda Pop Soft Drink Glass Good by ManHoard



Perfect for juice, milk, Sunkist soda pop or other soft drink, and for collectors of vintage advertising, soft drink products and rare finds from Hawaii. One side of the glass has a humorous image of a big fat white chicken mascot standing above the lettering which reads, "#1 And Just Begun", and states on the glass, "HAWAII 1986" in capital letters. The other side of this great collectible glass is the Official Sunkist "Good Vibrations" logo. According to Wikipedia, the company changed hands and starting in late 1986 until 2008, it was produced by Cadbury Schweppes under license through its Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages subsidiary. This glass is a commemoration of the new beginning for Sunkist under a different company, and with permission from Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys to use their classic hit song at the time, "Good Vibrations", in all of their advertising promotions, it put Sunkist on the map for good. Don't know what's up with the chicken mascot, though. Suitable for collectors of vintage advertising, all things Hawaii, soda pop memorabilia or collectible glassware.
