Slug reads, ONE QUART LIQUID WHEELERVILLE DAIRY on this very rare cream top style bottle. The design allowed the consumer to capture the risen cream with a small bulb neck. The cream, after depositing itself in the neck, could be removed with the use of a small metal ladle (also included in this lot, as well as instructions for use). Wheelerville was on the Wheeler Ranch in the southwest part of Reno that today is part of the Ballardini Ranch. The ranch apparently had an outlet store for its goods. This is the only Nevada dairy bottle with this cream top design, making it very desirable to collectors [Ref: Nevada History Through Glass, Vol I, Fred Holabird, 2012]. - Ferraro Collection -59344
