Christine (Ivanovich) Compiano tagging Key club bottles in the restaurant she owned with her husband Joe Compiano. From the end of Prohibition until 1963 it was illegal to buy/sell liquor by the drink. A key club was a place where you could share drinks with friends. You bought the whole bottle and your bottle was held on the premises for you to come back and drink some more when you wanted. The bottles had to be tagged with the name or possibly club number of the bottle's owner.
