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[8D] 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[:D] Thank you, Marvin

Hello Marvin,

I searched. "We Lika Borat..." Nah. "WeLiKa Fish House" Nuh-uh. 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.

Thank you for the replies. 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[8|] Maybe ya'll can see them better here. I appreciate all replies. Marvin
