I was looking for a place to post a few things that I had picked up, and all I came across was thejab's old Kono Hawaii postcard thread. I picked up two of these cocktail umbrellas last month. They're not in very good shape, but I'm fairly amazed that they survived at all. I also have these two matchboxes. And this mug.
These three belong to Boris. I think this is from a really big post card that Boris owns. And a few more from Dustycajun. Harbor Blvd. Diners marvel at a blend of the finest in Hawaiian-Japanese food in a setting of the tropics and the Far East.

Kono's Gift Shop offers unusual imported gifts from the 50th State and the Orient. I'm really impressed with those cocktail umbrellas. You hardly ever see them with a logo on them.
Nice work, Sabu. That place existed for the longest time, albeit in de-tikied form not that it had many Tikis to begin with , but well into the 90s. It was notable for being one of the Polynesian places together with the Royal Hawaiian Anaheim that Walt Disney used to frequent. Thanks for these memorabilia posts everyone - Kono Hawaii is my personal number one Polynesian-pop temple even though its gone now.
My father took my mother there on their second date together in the early s.. It seems to me Kono Hawaii was demolished before the s, but I may be wrong.. I could kick my parents for never taking me there, or Sam's seafood. Fond child hood memories of Kono. When we moved to OC in the early 70's Kono was within just a few miles of our house, so we would visit often.
