Here is a very interesting piece which pretty much has it all as far as I am concerned. One of the most exciting Western whiskey cylinders is the Thos. Taylor Importers, Virginia, N. This paper is after these bottles were made I believe, but is a nice piece of history none the less. With "Virginia, Nev." "Wells Fargo & Co. Bank" "Thos. Taylor & Co." and "Washoe Club", the references to several Nevada, and mining concerns are on this one piece. Perhaps another "blogger" could post some detailed history on Thos. Taylor, and his bottles.
M.E., I really enjoy the paper stuff that goes along with these bottles we collect. Sometimes a nice item will show up at a show or even on fleabay...occasionally for just a few bucks you can land a treasure. Might even be autographed by one of these famous dealers.
ReplyDeleteTwist Dennis' arm .... maybe he will share a photo of that Chalmer's Wells Fargo cover. It is a great piece!!
