Wine Label - Port; 'Star' - Sheffield 1786 by John Younge & Co. - 41mm wide - Ref: GV/7182

Sorry, this item is out of stock.

A very rare provincial example of this delightful form of wine label. The label has 12 bright-cut engraving rays and PORT engraved to the centre. The label is suspended from its' chain by way of two eyelets soldered to the reverse side. According to "Wine Labels 1730-2003" edited by John Salter, only one other Sheffield made "Star" is known.
