Hey Mike,
I got the idea of posting my Hawaiian Whiskeys from your Oregon Hotalings post, I too love Western Whiskeys and have at least one example of each company except the very rare IMPORTED BY. C.L. RICHARDS & CO. S.I. (Sandwich Island) circa 1858, I believe there are less then 5 known examples...

HAWAIIAN WHISKEYS FROM THE 50th STATE OF HAWAII: There are many variations of the gloppy tops and tooled tops of the Macfarlane and Peacock Whiskeys...there are only 1 known tooled top of the Love Joy and 2 known tooled top examples of the Hoffschlaeger...The earlier dark amber example supposedly harder to find...

*MACFARLANE & CO HONOLULU (Applied Top).(circa mid 1890's) 4/5 quart.
*2-W.C. PEACOCK & CO HONOLULU H.I. WINE & LIQUOR MERCHANTS (2 Applied Tops) one is a
red amber (circa late 1880's early 1890's) medium amber (different plate, mid to late 1890's) both are 4pc. 1 pint 9
oz. (both nicely whittled)
*LOVEJOY & CO. HONOLULU T.H. (Tooled Top) (circa early 1900's)
*HOFFSCHLAEGER CO. LTD. HONOLULU (Tooled Top) (circa early 1900's) earlier example (dark amber)

Thanks for looking...aloha Earl

Those are very Western whiskeys...can't get much farther west. They are beautiful and, I imagine, quiet hard to find.

Tim...Thanks for looking...

Melinda: Thanks for the nice comments...some Hawaiian Whiskeys are more common then others, there are also different variations that make some more scarce, The globby top Hawaiian Whiskeys are very desirable here in Hawaii and the older Peacocks is very popular because of the crudeness and whittle to them...

Mahalo, Earl, for showing those beauties. Holy Moly, that MacFarlane is a SMOKER! The others are sweet, too. Love the red Peacock. I have a Lovejoy that was dug here on the Mainland.

Aloha, Mike

Thanks Mike, my favorite is the Macfarlane...I remember you posting the Love Joy that you dug up in the mainland, sometimes I wonder how the bottle got so far away from it's origin, last year I did dig a nice Kellogg from San Francisco here in Hawaii...

Earl, is there a photo of a C. L. Richards bottle? I don't see it in my older Hawaiian bottle books.

Mike,
The CL RICHARDS is a very plain looking black glass whiskey bottle that has small embossing that goes around the shoulder, (circa 1858), according to the revised Hawaiian Bottles of Long Ago book (1988), there are only 5 or less known good examples of the bottle and the only Hawaiian Bottle that is embossed S.I. (Sandwich Islands), this particular bottle was in the rarity case at last years bottle show...
