Polygon Posted July 15, 2018 Share #1 Posted July 15, 2018 Hey guys, This is the first time I've run across one of these: a coconut with, "Jungle Hike, Samoa, April 27/43" carved into the front. Could this have been done by one of the Marines stationed there during the war? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefighter Posted August 3, 2018 Share #3 Posted August 3, 2018 Thats cool. Didn’t JFK use a carved coconut to send a message, or something like that. I think he kept it on his desk in the Oval Office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he kept it on his desk in the Oval Office. He did, read about that a bit. Does anyone here have any coconuts similar to what I posted? Just curious to see what's out there.

suwanneetrader Posted August 5, 2018 Share #5 Posted August 5, 2018 My Dad mailed this painted coconut back to KY from Guam after 21st Marines went there after Iwo Jima. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
