French Bordeaux dated seal wine bottle. Dark green glass, spun pontil, large round seal 'LAFITE - 1887'. I bought this one from a specialist dealer and collector in the UK in 1997.

I was just able to find an 1874 and 1887 Lafite of my own! I love these bottles. I am over here in Napa Valley, California and would love to tie into some antique Bordeaux bottle collectors, like you all, over in your neck of the woods.
I found one of these when digging in my garden (we are in the grounds of what was once a large country house). If any collector is interested please make me an offer! m_temple@msn.com.
Great find ! That's a nice bottle :)
