Kalakaua canes and swords at auction
With King David Kalakaua's birthday party
coming up Sunday at 'Iolani Palace, Advertiser columnist Bob Krauss notes
that "two rare Kalakaua canes and two authenticated Kalakaua swords will go on
the block at Sotheby's Auction House in New York on Friday." He gives some
background on the items, and talks about how one can donate toward the purchase
of the items so they can be returned to the Palace, "for a new exhibit of the
personal possessions of Kalakaua and other members of the royal family,"
according to Deborah Dunn, executive director of Friends of Iolani
Palace.
