Vintage 1972 Solid Sterling Silver GIN Decanter Label

Vintage Sterling Silver Relief Scrolled Foliate Decorated Gin Bottle or Decanter Label dated 1972 This Delightful Vintage Decanter Label measures approximately 4 3/8 inches or 112 mm in length from the base of the label to the top of the chain when it is hanging by 2 1/2 inches or 64 mm across the width of the label and it is 1 5/8 inches or 42 mm deep. The bottle or decanter label is made from solid sterling silver in a slightly curved oval shape that has a superb embossed or relief decorated scrolled foliate outer border around a round central panel that has been engraved with the word GIN all as photographed below, the bottle or decanter label has a silver chain hanging from either side of the top that is long enough to go around the neck of a bottle or decanter and the label has Not been engraved with a previous owners initials or family monogram. The front of the label has been impressed with a full set of English solid sterling silver hallmarks that read as follows, D H & S - Anchor - Lion Passant - stylized X D H & S is the Birmingham silversmith or makers mark of David Hollander & Son, the Anchor is the mark of the Birmingham assay office, the Lion Passant is the mark of English solid sterling silver and the stylized letter X is the date letter for 1972. The condition is used and near Mint for its age. The Label has No Dents, No Splits, No Holes and No Repairs that I can find, the label is straight, the decoration is crisp, the silver hallmark is still clearly legible although as this is a used vintage label it does have the some extremely minor surface wear from use along with the patina of age that is to be expected and a gentle clean would not go amiss. Personally I think that this vintage antique style Gin bottle or decanter label can still be used today and that it would make a superb addition to any collection, I also think that it looks fantastic considering that it's almost 40 years old. This Vintage Solid Sterling Silver Relief Scrolled Foliate Decorated Gin Bottle or Decanter Label dated 1972 is one of several pieces of antique silver that I have also listed.
