Vintage Hand-Crafted Hawaiian 8" Koa Plate Inscribed "Blair Hawaii Koa Wood" & ?

Description

This vintage koa wood heptagon plate
was handcrafted in Hawaii by Blair's Honolulu Ltd that was established in 1945 on Oahu by master woodcrafter Millard Blair.  In the 1960-70's, Blairs had an outlet store in Waikiki and thereafter continue until the mid-1980's to produce handcrafted koa and monkey pod wood pieces sold throughout Hawaii-nei.  Mr Blair is reported to have died in 1993, but his grandson continues to handcraft wood on Maui.  The 7-sided plate measures 7.9375" in diameter, its highest point along the seven upturned edge is .875" high in height; the average depth of the bowl is .75" ; and weights 6 ozs. The plate's natural koa wood highlights change with different lines of sight, background and media with little damage, distress or dullness and no real physical harm seen by eye or felt by hand. The first six pictures pictures were taken in a camera tent, the next two pictures were computer scans at 400 dpi, and the last picture was taken with an up dated iPhone after we saw an alphabetical inscription barely visible with the unassisted eye that was revealed in the first computer scan and caused us to include the last two pictures.  The two of us have tried to decipher the letters, but unable to definitively do so.  Perhaps, you may be able to reveal a two part name...we will not tell you the many ways we read what we think are alphabetical letters read in English, Hawaii and Japanese names we coaxed out and discarded.    Will answer all other questions promptly.  Shipment will be by USPS first class with tracking provided.
