This is one of the darkest blue examples of Wright known. It has an exceptionally thick base, is full of tiny bubbles., with "Pacific Glassworks" embossed on the bottom. These bottles were ordered by Wright in December, 1862 from the new Pacific Glassworks in San Francisco, and are thought to be among the very first bottles produced from that factory, which was the first successful glassworks on the West Coast. Wright produced not only the first western soda, but the first Nevada embossed bottle from the new Nevada Territory. It is an exceptionally important piece in the field of western glass collecting, and this is a premium example. X-Holabird. See Holabird Volume 1, pp163. This example is the bottle at the far left in the photograph. City: Virginia City State: Nevada Inventory Number: 39548
