From the Effie Mona Mack Estate
This piece comes from the estate of Effie Mona Mack (1888–1969), Nevada historian, educator and University of Nevada benefactor, known for her books on Mark Twain’s years in Virginia City and her History of Nevada. We acquired items from the estate around 2005. According to her relatives, Mrs. Mack ran the gift shop in Reno’s old Mapes Hotel and Casino. The family collected for generations, so exact ages are not always known; each piece has been examined and described by our retired jeweler and G.I.A. Graduate Gemologist.
