Silver Ale Bottle Ticket, 1790

"Ale" or "Beer" is a scarce name on silver bottle tickets and this is a very elegant example of the former.

This crescent-shaped Georgian label has an attractive bright-cut engraved border. To the reverse are clear hallmarks for Robert Hennell and the presence of the duty mark and lack of a date letter indicate the period 1786 to 1790 for manufacture. This good-looking antique silver Ale ticket is in fine condition.
