Very cool! The first Polyart one could have been a promotional item by the Hawaiian Distillers Company, with all that history on it. But then they would have put their name on it, I guess.

Here is the original box for the matte green bottle:

This is the text on the side. Judging by the "Tikis" typeface, the box and bottle could be from the late 70s/early 80s:


No other text, logo or info on the other sides.

To make it clear, this green one and the big heavy black one (which was a numbered edition) were three piece sets: Bottle, ashtray, and the top could be used as a mug:

Here is the label on the back of the green one, I really like their logo of a cartoony King Kamehameha having the last drop out of the still tank:

Does any one have any Hawaiian Distillers ads from any 70s-80s Hawaiian magazines or brochures? I guess there was no "Hawaiian Liquor Industries Monthly" or so :)
