Unusual Vintage Hawaiian Coconut Trinket Box

Unusual Vintage Hawaiian Coconut Trinket Box

Here's something you don't see every day, but surely everybody needs at least one! This is a hand cut and polished hollowed out coconut shell. It's resting on a piece of raw wood that has been cut out and the coconut set in. The lid has been scallop cut to fit with the bottom. There is a tropical nut that has been attached to the top of the head with a tiny screw. The coconut measures 4 by 5 inches, and is 3&1/2 deep. They eyes and mouth are glass beads. Etched in the wood base is a palm tree, and , "ALOHA". On the back it says, "Honolulu T.H.". These were popular souvenir items made by natives in Hawaii during the 1940's.
