Really good condition, clean and shiny. Only a small amount of medium base and shoulder ware, from case transportation .No major damage. Item #2 of 2: Same as item #1, except clear in color, and base embossing, is upside down!! . . A rare chance, to get both colors of this bottle.

This was it. And, Yes, that is where the expression " Best By a Dam Site " came from. Also, this exact bottle pictured on page 45, in the book " Nevada History Through Glass , by Fred Holabird, in 2012. Rh).
