English 8 1/2" tall black glass port bottle, painted gold with an affixed paper label.  Neck label:  RESERVED FOR THE English Market.  Body label:  THE PRODUCE OF PORTUGAL/BROOKS/EMPRESS/PORT/(Vintage 1896)/Richard Brooks & Co/LONDON-ENGLAND/CONTENTS 1 PT. 9 FL. OZ/ALOCHOL BY VOL 20%/BOTTLED AT OPORTO/ LL 86/ IMPORTED/ BY KRAUS BROS CO/INCORPORATED/NEW-YORK.  Dating this bottle is problematic. It could have been made as early as 1860 and reused, which was common with the Portuguese wine trade.  Or, depending on when this vintage was bottled, and assuming the bottle was new at that time, it could be as late as the early 20th century.  When last sold this bottle contained an 1896 vintage.  However, it probably was not bottled until many years later.  The current paper label for importers Kraus Bros in NYC, may even have been attached many years after it was bottled.  [lj][ph:L]
