Bouvier Buchu Gin
Pre-prohibition, unbroken seal, original contents! Bouvier Buchu Gin in an Embossed fifth. Colorful label. Came form the Kennison Estate out of Auburn, California. Found in the basement - a prohibition stash - under lock and key. Among the most interesting of the “liquor as medicine” hucksters was the mysterious, and almost certainly fictional, Dr. C. Bouvier of Louisville, Kentucky. All contained “buchu gin,” a potion made by straining gin liquor through the leaves of the Latin American buchu plant, presumably taking along their essence and health-giving properties. Dr. C. Bouvier’s Buchu Gin was vigorous advertised as a remedy for kidney and bladder diseases (re-purposed for Prohibition). This bottle does not mention this re-purpose, making it pre-prohibition. But who was Dr. C. Bouvier, the medical man whose signature was said to be on every bottle? A substantial factory building stood in Louisville with his name prominently attached to buchu gin as one product of Dr. C. Bouvier’s Specialty Company. A search of Louisville directories and census records of the time, however, fails to find any physician with that name, or for that matter any Bouvier at all. This is probably from the Rosenbaum Brothers of Louisville. [Jack Sullivan blog] (Burt collection) Date: Prohibition City: Auburn State: California ID: 21832

Pacific Brewery Calendar Broadside
Early, extremely rare piece! Compliments of F.C. Knauer, Pacific Brewery, 9th & P Streets, Sacramento, Cal. A rosy-cheeked brunette with a white lace dress, pink ribbons, and a white hat with pink flowers stares out at us. Her portrait is made to look like it on parchment. A small calendar is attached at the bottom right. The border is a blue and white floral pattern. Broadside measures 16 1/2" x 22" in a 23" x 28" frame. The Pacific Brewery opened in 1858. An article in the Sacramento Daily Union, January 1, 1880, describes the operation and Mr. Knauer: "This brewery occupies a three-story brick building, covering an area of ground 80x160 feet. ... This brewery does no bottling but sells exclusively by the kegs or barrels. ... the establishment is one of the neatest and best operated on the coast, and Mr. Knauer's experience in beer-making is probably not surpassed by that of any other brewer in the State. He competes with any market, fills orders to any point aud makes no charge for drayage. His factory is one of the chief purchasers of hops in the city, but it does not confine itself to the local product but aims to secure the best to be had, both of barley and hops. There are few parts of the State which turn out as good a quality of malt liquors as Sacramento, and that of Mr. Knauer stands high on the list."
