Levy & Rowe, The Cabin, San Francisco, Cal. Circa 1892-1893. Generally mint purple pint pumpkinseed whiskey bottle. Double roll top, tooled. No whittle, no sea bubbles. No chips or scratches apparent. Never been cleaned. Very light inside stain, original. Not listed in Thomas’ Picnics, Coffins and Shoeflies, 1977. Thought to be unique. Edward Levy got his start in the liquor business with the Rosenthal Brothers liquor operation in San Francisco. August Rowe was a saloon owner in San Francisco, who ran a saloon at 500 5th Street in 1890, while he was working for Rosenthal. The pair apparently got together for The Cabin Saloon c.1891-1894, but didn’t last during a tough economic depression. By 1898, Rowe had taken a job out of the liquor business. In 1895 Levy still had a saloon at 219 Grant, but had a different partner. More research necessary. (1882, 1885, 1890, 1895, 1898, 1907 San Francisco Directories consulted.)
