Reopened for identification based on this recently found ad for the Wilkshire.

Note my name comments in the ad posting (click image). Unless we find an ad for a Wilshire, this name seems to be valid.

Wilkshire

I always get excited when a new advert is found that finally ID's one of these more 'unique' models.

Great advert find and match Ken.

Two ads without photos but showing the name Wilshire.  I am wondering if the name should be changed to Wilshire which makes more sense than Wilkshire.
