Very rare clear half pint Frank Abadie/Wholesale Liquors/Eureka, Nev. coffin whiskey flask. c. 1884-1886. Abadie opened a Eureka saloon in 1884 on Main Street. Business went downhill when lawsuits between 2 big silver producers caused a shutdown in mining and a local crash. See page 186 in Nevada Bottles Volume 1 by Holabird. No apparent chips or cracks. There is a small lip molding defect as the glass did not completely fill the mold, it is not a chip! Eureka Nevada Fred Holabird Collection
