Hi everyone I learned today that my great-great Grandma and Grandpa owned The Lucky Strike Bar in Goldfield, Nevada. They owned this bar until the prohibition law of no alcohol (I think the date was 1906). A big fire destroyed most of the buildings in 1915, so they left to go to Fallon. If anyone has a lucky strike bottle from Nevada I would like to buy it to own a piece of family history.

I think your history is a bit off. Prohibition would have happened 4 years after the bar burned. Maybe Nevada started sooner, don't know but some states did.

Hi Eric I got all this information from my grandma, she knew my great-great grandparents very well. I also think the prohibition started earlier in Nevada. I would like own a bottle from bar I am hoping someone has one somewhere.

There were some bars and such that had bottles made but not many, general stores and pharmacies are more likely. You may get lucky and find a labelled one he had his brand on but that's as doubtful since labels don't survive well.
Good luck though, I hope you find something. I wish there was someone in my family tree to look for a bottle of anything with the name.

Look behind the Bar for a Dump if you know or can find out where the Bar once stood? If your Lucky you may find a back bar bottle like this one. LEON.

I could, although everything burned down in 1911. I haven't ever seen a picture of the bar; I don't know if there is one.
