1930s Hawaiian Pictures?

[tjdean01]

I've found some of these online, but no one who has the whole 1-14 set. They're a set of prints that seem to be from the 1930s. I'm kind of curious if they're worth anything or if I should just toss them.

Thanks!

The seaplane is a Martin M130 "Flying Boat" which is the same plane that Pan Am called their "China Clipper" back then. Pretty cool pics!

Toss them? No. What are they worth, I have no idea, but I'm betting there has to be someone who would be interested.

Put them up on ebay as a set, list them as "vintage hawaii photos with china clipper seaplane" or something similar and I'll bet someone will buy them, even if they only bring a few bucks at least someone will have them and you'll have a few buck you didn't have before.

^ Or...
Write a nice note to the church (in circa 1920's prose) thanking them for the recent bake sale, and then drop it in the mail to them.
They'll be scratching their heads for weeks figuring it out. (That is, if the $0.49 stamp doesn't give it away!)

The eBay suggestion appears to have happened already: Vintage Antique Hawaiian b/w photos 1930s 1-14 set (Clipper Plane, Malo, Taro) | eBay

I've learned my lesson about selling things on ebay if I don't know it's value. I sold a small airplane gyrometer (?) once that was worth up to $1000 for $100 Now I start high and lower it every few weeks

The Indian capstone in my avatar, however, I'll never sell that! There's a price but it would be way more than it's worth. Had that since I was a child.

Never ever throw away old photographs. Donate them at least.

I can relate. I always seem to get the short end of the stick when selling just about anything

The ruins are of the Kualoa Sugar Mill. Built in the 1860's.

Cool pics!
