A 2” dose glass. Slug embossed “In Business/ Elko Drug Co./ For Your Health”. The rear of the glass is embossed “Table/ Dessert/ Tea” to the right of three etched lines. The bottom is embossed “W.T. Co./ AL/ U.S.A.” Clear glass, pristine. The Elko Drug Company succeeded the Elko Drug Store and, as a company, was the longest continuously running drug store in Nevada’s history. F.J. Schneider opened the first drug store in Virginia City, and was also the first druggist in Elko [Ref: Nevada History Through Glass, Vol 2, Fred Holabird, p. 67]. He only ran the Elko Drug Store for two years, and then Frank Muller took over in 1876 before he sold to Frank F. Miller [Ref: Nevada History Through Glass, Vol 2, Fred Holabird, p. 67]. This dose glass is one of only two known specimens. - Jacobitz Collection -59780
