One Quart milk bottle from Mountain Lakes, NV. Clear glass, very little wear with only some staining. The numbers 7 and 9 are embossed on the mouth. According to Holabird, “The name Mountain Lakes is not found in traditional references of Nevada. It may refer to the series of lakes at the south end of the Ruby Mountains in Elko county…There were a number of ranches in this area historically, but the existence of any dairies is unknown” [Ref: Nevada History Through Glass, Vol 1, Fred Holabird, 2012, p. 268]. This bottle is an excellent example of one of "the most popular to collectors because of the "ghost town" theme or association" [Ref: Nevada History Through Glass, Vol I, Fred Holabird, 2012, p. 266]. The bottle is considered scarce, with only five to ten known. - Ferraro Collection -59359
