Not a dug find but an ebay find, I thought was #882 (5 1/8") in amethyst but I realized plate is slightly different, letters no match up completly same as book but I could be wrong. Any help from anyone can verify? Would be greatly appreciated. sorry about the big pic. Mahalo

I was watching this too on ebay. Looks very close to me. I can't really tell any difference. If everything else matches up to the book then you have a rare one as noted by the (*)... if not maybe a "unlisted" version. In any case, it is a very nice bottle.

Thanks, my wife and I agree regardless of which one it is it's still a rare one. That comma sure looks different then the book straight up and down and the way some of the letters slant. if anyone got a 882 would love to see a pic.

Nice medicine to add to your collection...Definitely a good one, I don't think much of those are around especially according to the book there are (*) five or less know undamaged examples...There are so many different variations hard to keep up...There must be more that hasn't been found yet or might never be found, any kind of Hawaiian bottles are getting harder and harder to find, just running out of space to look...aloha Kaz

I could never quite figure out why "The Book" went to such great care in showing each tiny difference in plate marking for sodes, but then lumped all the meds together

When you have the same number in the book representing medicine bottles ranging from 2" to 6" tall, they are obviously using different plates!

I guess they didn't want to have to show all of the meds, or it would have swamped the rest of the bottles and doubled the size of the book.......

Thanks sodataveler what you are saying totally makes sense. Really there should of been a seperate book only for meds but the work that would of been involved to do this would of been immense,and new meds keep popping up. Another thing i noticed is they painted all the letters on the meds but not the sodas.

I've found that it can be extremely challenging to take a good picture of a clear bottle.....
My first attempt was with the Ahuimanu, I took over a dozen shots and never could get all the embossing to show up in the picture
