Elvis Alloha commemorates the USS Arizona Memorial Benefit performance at Pearl
               Harbour in 1961. It has a music box that plays "Blue Hawaii." Elvis ’68 was made in
               1980 and also has a music box, playing “Can’t Help Falling in Love” this time. The
               next bottle is Elvis Gold tribute, followed by Elvis Designer #1 Gold and Elvis
               Designer #1. Finally for the last page we have a sample Elvis Designer #2, actually
               this is the 750ml bottle but there was a 50ml sample. Following is one of the earliest
               and most common bottles, Elvis 1955 (made 1980) which plays “Loving You.”

               On this page we have Elvis on Rising Sun, his beloved horse. Made in 1985,
               Sergeant Elvis is next. This comes with “GI Blues” playing on the music box and a
               ‘barracks.’ Elvis Silver Anniversary was made in 1983 and plays “How Great Thou
               Art.” Last but not least is Elvis Christmas, which is larger than mini size.

               The only other makers of Elvis minis I can find are Pepsico and Graceland. This
               (15ml) set of 5 has been produced in quite large quantities but is difficult to obtain
               due to all those pesky Elvis fans buying them! Graceland is from Graceland Bourbon
               but was never filled.
