"We- Li- Ka" bottles - 10/9/2009 8:07:20 PM    #1twin   Posts: 751 Joined: 5/25/2006 From: Biloxi Ms Status: offline I was going through some containers of slicks and discovered two bottles that were not slick after all. They look like a typical slick medicine bottle, but one has "We-Li-Ka" in script on it and the other one has the same thing with Trade by the W and Mark at the other end of the phrase instead of parenthsis. The one on top has bigger letters not in script. Sorry but I really suck at pictures with the flash Anyone one ever seen these or know what they are. Any replies are greatly appreciated.  * I thought it was very strange that both bottles, discovered among a bunch of slicks, had the same wording. Better look close at those slicks before tossing them folks Thank you, Marvin Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Close, but no cigar.Possibility, as to origin of the name. I found a bunch of dead links to one particular ebayer of the purpley bottles. Also learned that "we li ka hei" means a bit for boring rock in the Hawaiian language. I, too, would like to see a picture with less turbulence. I think, for the time being, you may have the market cornered on this one. (in reply to madman) Post #: 3

I am not the best photographer by any means, so please bear with me. Remember the bottles are so lightly embossed I had them in a pile of slicks Maybe ya'll can see them better here. I appreciate all replies.  Marvin Attachment (1) (in reply to surfaceone) Post #: 4
