Sharing this rare stenciled etched milk bottle, HALF PINT MOANALUA DAIRY HONOLULU. Hear that his one you don't see that often. I'll find out when I bring it to the next club meeting.
From the help of "druggistnut" and his friends (Thanks so much!). I was able to explore a little site that once being dug. By the time I got there the houses were leveled and the privy covered. I did however found some nice evidence of what came out of there. It was just great to be out...
I took this photo of a amethyst milk bottle from the last Hawaii Collectors Expo. It was on display as being one of the rarest bottle in Hawaii. There is one listed in the bimal Hawaiian Bottle book as a bowling pin shaped, 2 pc tooled top, circa 1906, but the wording differs which leads me to...
Here's a nice University of Hawaii Dairy half pint. I believe these were produced by the agricultural department. Also produced were painted milks. Did any other colleges produced their own milks?
Took a hike with a friend trying to locate some old building structures in the mountains that he knew about. We reached the bottom of the gulch and walked the river bed upstream. We didn't find the structures but we found some old broken bottles, metal dishes and a 55 gal. drum. At least we...
Here are couple nice Kemoo Farm dairy bottles. The old Kemoo Farm building ( a pub now) still stands just outside of the Army Installation - Schofield Barracks.
One of my favorite milks... Waialua Agricultural Co. Ltd (W.A.Co.). One of Hawaii's prestigious sugar companies which started in 1898 and ended in 1996. I found some milk tokens for one quart, pint and 1/2 pints while digging so I was on a daunting mission to find the bottles that went with it...

Found these clay and glass marbles at an old pineapple plantation camp here on Oahu, Hawaii. Would like to have more info on the glass marbles. Aloha! Nate
Aloha Everyone… My last two dig with Earl (808 50th State) was a fun dig that I’d like to share with his bottling friends. Also I was honored by his family to be able to spread some of his ashes where he dug his last hole. He was also known as “808Kaz†and myself as...
Found this opium bottle with some nice Chinese characters embossed on it on both sides and the base. First time seeing one like this. Kaz (Earl) told me it was a rare one that is hardly found. Both sides are different. To top it off... After this photo was taken, I dropped the bottle and the...
The bottle diggers in Hawaii and across the U.S has lost a great friend. You will always be there with me on each dig. Mahalo for passing to me your knowledge in digging and bottles in general. Aloha to my friend Earl.
