Description

A bottle once filled with Angelica wine, San Gabriel Wine Company, ca. 1880s. The item is made of clear glass and has a front label with the name of the product and the firm, which had its vineyards in present-day San Marino, then referred to as part of the San Gabriel township, and which was founded by Edward F. Watkins, who was associated as a superintendent of Benjamin D. Wilson. With the label torn and with missing pieces, as well as soiled and rubbed, the overall condition is fair.
