    Description

    NOTE
    :  I also have 2 rare pre-prohibition "Virginia Brewing Co.'' bottle opener key chains + headlight adjusters from Roanoke, VA ... listed on Ebay this week so be sure to check them out.
    This auction features a rare pre-prohibition "Roanoke Wine & Liquor Co." - Roanoke, VA keychain bottle opener with a Prest-o-Lite headlight adjuster tool.
    The ladies boot shaped opener is stamped patent pending.
    Notice
    that the opener has a square notch ... the square hole was for adjusting a vehicle that had Prest-o-Lite headlights ... nearly every vehicle at that time had the gas powered headlights and having a key chain with this notch was a useful tool.
    The Roanoke Wine & Liquor Company was listed in directories from 1890 to 1914 ... it was on S. Jefferson Street ... the company used the brand names: Cream of Carolina, Golden Crown Gin, Mill Mountain Corn, Monocracy, Moore's Creek, Old Gold Corn, Old Gordon, Old King Malt, Our Pride, Sach's Select, Scott's, Tinker Valley and Trost Malt.
    Virginians voted in favor of statewide prohibition in 1916.
    Great Roanoke, VA collectible!
