Recently found here in Maine at a small sale.
An old empty sherry wine bottle with a nice label which dates 1895 to 1900 as best I can figure.
This bottle was found in a crate tightly wrapped with hay along with other types of bottles.
Label reads " FROM THE CELEBRATED VINEYARDS OF LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA" .
Clarke, Riley & Co. of 33 & 37 Commercial St. Boston was the distributor.
Label includes considerable detail - seated Goddess with bear and distant ship.
Bottle measures about 11"h with base diameter of 3.25" .
Cork does appear to be original.
Bottle was lightly dusted but not washed.
The glass is perfect.
No sale out of the country.
Ebay charges sales tax on all sales.
