Refugees from the old Honolulu Advertiser, or history buffs generally, might be interested in several items to be offered in an auction by Wendy McClain of McClain’s Ultimate Attic.

It’s scheduled for Saturday morning at 10 a.m., 780 South Beretania Street, directly across from the police station.

You can click through to the catalog of auction items, as well as photos (not all photos are posted yet).

You’ll see in the brief description that this auction includes items from Thurston & Sharon Twigg-Smith, among others. That gives it a bit of traction among old newsies, I would guess.

Among the items is this sign from the old news building at the corner of Kapiolani and South Street.

There’s a second sign, not in as good condition, “Honolulu Advertiser/Commercial Printing”.

In addition, there’s a photo of a group of newsboys taken by Ray Jerome Baker. Given his presence in Hawaii, I’m guessing the photo was taken here.

Given the weather warnings, I would keep close watch to see if Saturday’s auction might be postponed.
