I recently picked up some nice paper items from the New York World's Fair. The first is a photo holder from the Restaurant of the 5 Vocanos.

The outside has the standard restaurant logo with the Mod font.

The picture shows the inside of the restaurant with a couple of bee-hive gals posing with the friendly staff and enjoying their 5 Volcano Rum Punch served in traditional Pineapples.

The second set of items are two brochures from the restaurant.
The brochures both have a nice wahini on the cover.

The larger brochure gives an explanation of the Luau with an "action" photo. You can even see a tiki hiding out in the back.

And then a Luau menu.

The brochure also contains a photo of a model of the Hawaiian Pavilion and a description of the facilities. Interesting to note that their was a Lava Pit Bar and a Sandwich Isle Bar. First time I had heard about those venues. There were also outrigger canoe rides!

The second brochure contains and updated menu with higher prices so I am assuming it came out later.

I really enjoy the old World's Fair Hawaiian/Polynesian themed items.
