From 'The Crystal.' Thyes was involved in Nevada and Reno in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Herman Thyes came to California during the Gold Rush with his family. He came to Reno in the mid 1870s and worked for Elia Chielovich at the saloon the Wine House. In 1880, Thyes began his own saloon, liquor, and wine business under the name "Chase & Thyes." When he bought out his partner, it became known as the Crystal Saloon, HJ Thyes & Co. He was also a member (and once chief) of the Reno Fire Department. Thyes retired in 1916. Wallet has been used: stitching unraveling at top, leather shows signs of wear.
