trying to figure out what year tis is from.
bought it about 10 year ago at a yard sale,
says "Hilton Hawaiian Village " w/ a logo 'HV' , opposite side of that is the striker side,
opposing sides say " the Fun Resort' , opposite of that side " Honolulu, Hawaii"
also has 'Japan' as the country t was made in.
box is about 2 1/2 inches long, , about 3/4' square.
looks like it is made of Bamboo , then wrapped in black paper.
full box of matchsticks, tri-colored assortment
any info would be appreciated
Hilton Hawaiian Village was originally named the Kaiser Hawaiian Village Hotel (opened 1957), constructed and first administered by Henry J. Kaiser, the industrialist who built the Hoover Dam and Grand Coulee Dam. Hilton Hotels & Resorts bought the resort in 1961 and changed the name to Hilton Hawaiian Village.
kudos on information!
any idea if this particular matchbox is rare?
I couldn't find any online for sale or anything, and everything is online...
