    FOR SALE,  a
    BEAUTIFUL.......ANTIQUE CIRCA 1900 ERA.....AND BELIEVE THE SMALLEST
    VARIETY ISSUED .. ONLY ABOUT 2 7/8" TALL VARIETY AND MERCHANT, CRISP EMBOSSING
    Antique pharmacy
    / drug store bottle once used at
    A DRUG STORE, PHARMACY
    called "
    DRUGGIST -- S.J. HODGKINSON (DRUG STORE, PHARMACY)
    " once located in historic old downtown
    RENO, NEVADA
    THESE ANTIQUE NEVADA DRUG BOTTLE ARE TYPICALLY DUG AND UGGGG-LEEEEE BECAUSE OF MINERALIZATION IN THE SOIL....THIS ONE IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL...AND A GREAT PC OF HISTORY FROM THE TOWN OF RENO
    I have a friend who calls these micro tiny drug bottles "shadowbox bottles"...because they can be displayed in things like small frames or shadow boxes...this one is only 2 7/8" tall, and was likely the smallest size issued by this drug store....guessing 1/2 ounce sized.
    THIS BOTTLE DISPLAYS VERY WELL, HAS NOT BEEN CLEANED...BUT IN GREAT SHAPE.....JUST A NEAT OLD BOTTLE...THE LITTLE BROWN STAIN YOU SEE IN GALLERY IS JUST DIRT ON INSIDE, NOT DAMAGE
    The historic town of RENO is located in WASHOE County Nevada....not far from the towns of Carson City, Sparks, and Virginia City Nevada
    The bottle is what I would call light purple colored glass, it is a micro tiny size, and stands 2 7/8" tall  ...and it is a very beautiful specimen,  just has not been cleaned at all but glass is great,
    neat bottle. Crisp embossing on this one.. would likely turn darker purple
    Gallery pictures should show you all you need to know, took pictures from many angles. (see gallery pictures)
    Nice antique
    bottle, AND
    EARLY ...ABOUT  1900 ERA MERCHANT.....MICRO SIZED SIZE "SUN PURPLED" VARIANT, 2 7/8" TALL.. PHARMACY BOTTLE ISSUED BY "S. J. HODGKINSON" ,
    ...from drug store in the historic old downtown of
    RENO, NEVADA
    All my bottles are carefully packed in bubble wrap and oversized rigid box to make sure they get to you as you see them :)
    Thanks so much for looking....collect and invest in history!!!!!
