Irish Cork Silver Gleninsheen Wine Label
A good quality, Limited Edition, Irish Silver Wine Label for "PORT" made by William Egan & Sons of Cork. The label is in the form of the famous Geninsheen Collar.
In 1932 a farmer found the "Gleninsheen Collar" in Gleninsheen, Co, Clare. The Geninsheen Collar is a ribbed solid gold collar that dates from approximately 700BC, the late Bronze Age. It is on display at the National Museum in Dublin.
The Gleninsheen Collar is also used as a hallmark symbol to commemorate Ireland's entry into the European Community in 1973. This Wine Label is a Limited Edition item made to commemorate this fact.
It is hallmarked with the maker’s mark “WE" for William Egan & Sons of Cork, Hibernia and the Crowned Harp, the Dublin Silver marks and the the date letter "F" for 1973 alongside the "Gleninsheen Collar 1973" Europoean Commemorative Mark. The reverse of the label engraved "No. 32".
The label is in excellent condition with no damage or repairs. It measures approximately 2 1/2" inches (60mm) in height.
