This listing is for a vintage Hawaiian wall plaque featuring a lacquered sunset photograph with palms and ocean, mounted on a simulated koa wood plywood base. Measuring approximately 13 inches by 10 inches (33 cm x 25.4 cm), this classic tourism-era souvenir captures the rich color, vivid scenery, and retro style that defined mid-century island decor. The back carries a “Made in Hawaii” foil label and a stamped logo, while a sawtooth hanger is included for convenient wall mounting.

Condition-wise, this plaque shows moderate overall surface scuffs, minor edge wear, and some film hazing and scratches over the photo, all visible in the provided photos. The materials and aesthetic suggest a 1960s to 1980s production date, part of Hawaii’s tradition of sunny beach memorabilia that found a place in homes and tiki bars across the mainland. These plaques play a role in preserving mid-century travel culture and make unique additions to vintage-inspired spaces or surf-themed galleries. They can be used as wall art, hung in kitchen nooks, home offices, or as a conversation starter in retro interiors.
