DrDarryl Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 12/27/2015 11:11 am Cataloged a new dairy token for Hawaiian collectors. Unlisted in the Hawaiian Money Standard catalog 2nd Edition by Medcalf & Russell. Not sure if its listed in any other dairy token reference books. I located an exact copy of the logo (in a periodical search at an undisclosed library) and I date its use in the mid 1930's on the island of Oahu, Territory of Hawaii (T.H.). The periodical has a 1935 date. However, here are additional findings: 1897 - Dairymen's Association formed in T.H. 1900 - Name changed to Honolulu Dairymen's Association 1915 - Term "Velvet Ice Cream" first used in T.H. 1959 - Name change to Meadow Gold Dairies Hawaii As for my Mai Tai, I'm still researching these two tokens. I believe majority were destroyed when this unique Waikiki Hotel was closed. Interesting 9 part webpage on the Tiki Architecture from the 1950s in the link below. http://tikiarchitecture.blogspot.co...-part-1.html Edited by DrDarryl 12/27/2015 11:25 am Report this Post to the Staff

DrDarryl Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 12/27/2015 11:35 am Additional findings with evolved logo on truck (S is more elongated). Notice the Asian delivery drivers in the Territory of Hawaii. Edited by DrDarryl 12/27/2015 11:37 am Report this Post to the Staff
