The Miniature Bottle Collector

Roma Port Wine

What you're looking at here is a Captain's bottle produced by the Roma Wine Company of Lodi, California especially for the Southern Pacific Co. which operated the railroads used for many routes out west long before AMTRAK was ever envisioned. It's a faceted, well made bottle which is highly collectable for many reasons. My particular favorite though is the fact that the Roma Wine Company will not admit to ever having produced a miniature. (For all of you with Gallo bottles and/or jugs, it also will positively avow that they produced no miniatures.) So for all of you who collect Ports, old 1930's California bottles, or anything having to do with transportation, this one is a must!
