P.E. Wills's Elizabethtown,Ind

[fer_de_lance]

Hello All, After reading a book on the history of wine in Indiana last year I was curious if I could find an early example of one the wine bottles. My research turned up P. E. Wills's Celebrated Wines from Elizabethtown,Ind, not as early of a bottle as I would like but it seemed to be an obtainable one. Mission accomplished with the purchase of this 17" tall hock wine style that has a slight amethyst tint. Here are a couple of articles on the history of the winery that I have included links to.https://www.flickr.com/photos/shushmuckle/8046040857/https://www.flickr.com/photos/shushmuckle/8046039093/ Tim
