Bottles tell history of Nevada, the West
By Guy Clifton, Reno Gazette-Journal
Their first lives might have ended in a mining camp or city dump or with an unceremonious drop into the depths of an outhouse, but a century or more later, they tell a history of their own.
Bottles.
Bottles for beer, whisky, perfume, medicine and myriad other uses are a reflection of the time in which they were made and passion for collectors.
The Reno Bottle Club is, at 52 years old, one of the oldest continuously running clubs in the Truckee Meadows.
