A 2” dose glass. Slug embossed “Van Alstine/ of/ Yerington”. The rear of the glass is embossed “Table/ Dessert/ Tea” to the right of three etched lines. The bottom is embossed “W.T. Co./ AM/ U.S.A.” Clear glass, pristine. Ney Van Alstine born in Nevada in 1885, received his Nevada Pharmacy License on 15 May 1913 [Ref: Nevada History Through Glass: The Nevada Bottle Book—Vol 2, Fred Holabird, p. 188]. He and Harry Warren owned and operated the Yerington Drug Company through at least 1920 [Ref: Nevada History Through Glass: The Nevada Bottle Book—Vol 2, Fred Holabird, p. 188]. This dose glass is one of perhaps six known modern embossed dose glasses. - Jacobitz Collection -59786
