-Lot of 4 drugstore bottles that measure 5”, 5”, 4.25” and 3.” All four of these clean, clear glass bottles are embossed "O.P. Willis Apothecary Carson City, NEV.” All except for the 3” have the embossed monogram logo. Very little wear, some have very minor chips and some staining that could be polished out. The 1870 census lists O.P. Willis, an Apothecary, as a 27 year old resident of Carson City in Ormsby County. His store was located on the northeast corner of Carson & King streets in Carson City, and was eventually bought out by Thaxter--another well-known pharmacist, in 1878. HKA#59582
