Victorian Silver 'Free Trade' Wine Label 'Gin'

A rare Victorian die-stamped silver and silver gilt Wine Label pierced for Gin on a plain scrolled name plate, surrounded by various agricultural symbols including a cornucopia of fruit, wheat sheaves, a rake, a scythe and what might be a baking tin containing loaves of bread.
