"For Fun Livingston Montana Park Inn" is the inscription on the back of this naked lady bottle opener. This flat metal bottle opener was a promotional give away item. With a hole to go on a strap or key chain, a nude woman on one side and the inscription on the other, you would know where to go "for Fun" in Livingston. On December 21, 1882 Livingston was incorporated named in honor of Johnston Livingston, pioneer Northern Pacific Railway stockholder. The founding of the small historical railroad and ranching town of Livingston, Montana is a direct result of the Northern Pacific Railway. Like Most railroad towns Livingston survived on the railroad, the bars, and the red-light district. Prostitution was legal in Livingston from its founding until 1930 when it was no longer allowed in the city limits but it wasn't really shutdown until 1970. The movie A River Runs Through It,( filmed in Livingston) based on Norm Maclean's life in the early 1900"s, pays tribute to the Livingston's red light district in an opening scene when young Maclean stops running in the streets to taunt the working girls with his own "Hoochie Coochie" dance. This flat metal bottle opener is 3" long and 5/8" at its wide point. This is such a unique piece of Livingston Montana's history!
