Evening all, maybe someone can help me read the names in this document (cellar list from a customer of mine). An abstemious lot as evidenced by the second photo but by then they were living in the Victorian era
Won’t let me add photos?

Was writing bottle some sort of writing quirk in those days?

le some sort of writing quirk in those days?
I'm not sure that is "le" in the superscript though. None of the other letter e are written that way. It looks like an l then an s. bott
ls. Which is still a bit strange
Lots of other old English too. Been instead of bin. Seald rather than sealed. Bottled abbrieviated to bott
d. Number abbrieviated to no
br.

I’ll do a draft transcript over the weekend… for wine label people this stuff is current spelling.
