The Bodie's are very rare, and the lady gave me a great deal probably because I'm only 15.

Hi everyone, when I bought the ebay one the far right one is very potent. Does anyone have any tricks to get rid of the odor or is airing it out the best thing to do?

A good cleaning and then some lemon juice. I have used the soap people use for hunting. Supposed to remove odors. It works pretty good. Mitch

Hello I have one pic to post tonight of many; this bottle was found in the Goldfield/ Tonopah wash in Nevada. Any dates, I was thinking late 1800's.

That is a beautiful bottle ! I use a site called cronicalingamerica a lot to do research. It has several references to a White House club bar in Phoenix Arizona. Could have traveled from there ?

 

[Nevadabottles]

Yes possibly, because Goldfield and Tonopah like many other small Nevada towns were gold rush cities. If they were traveling through the middle of Goldfield and Tonopah, they were probably headed for Virginia City or other numerous gold rush towns.

White House Club was a rectified whiskey sold by Ferdinand Westheimer & Co. of St. Joseph, MO. They were pretty prolific and likely were the source of your back bar bottle.
