So where did these locals come from? Old time collection? Nice - they have the "H.I." designation.

Thanks.... Jason the bottles came from a old time retired collector who lives on the Big island now, the bottles where dug in downtown Honolulu way back in the 70's and 80's, I was lucky to have a chance to purchase some of there bottles when I went on vacation recently on the Big Island, like Mike said sweeet.... Hawaiian medicines are hard to come by especially without cracks or chips, aloha Earl

I recall that one of two of the early Hollister pharmacies and a Hollister & Co soda were dug here in Sacramento some years back. I suppose that travelers to Honolulu brought them back here for some reason and eventually tossed 'em in the backyard "facility". Stranger things have happened.
