On which island would I find the most antique stores? Where could I find Hawaiian playing cards or cards that were used for fortune telling by Hawaiian natives?

Oahu is the main island and has the population base to support the antique market. There are 65 antique dealers listed in the yellow pages with 7 antique repair and restore shops. Don't see any 1-800 numbers. These list Hawaiiana in their ads: Anchor House Antiques 732- 3884 (all Hawaii area codes are 808), Antiques-Windward 262-5526, Bailey's Antiques and Aloha Shirts 734-7628, Hawaii Antique Center 734-6222, Hawaiian Antiquities inc 591-2929, The Hunter 262-4868, and Roots and Relics 538-3311.
