Nah, worthless. However, as I quite like oddities, I'll gladly pay him a few
dollars plus postage.

Seriously, this time. Yes Madeira, even if dry, is virtually immortal and a
1900 vintage madeirqa should be worth quite a bit. Even if the label is
damaged and the wine heavily ullaged, it should be worth quite a bit. From
your use of the word "buddy" I'd imagine that you're in the US. Were you in
the UK, I'd suggest that your friend contact Christie's wine dept who might
well have be interested in auctioning it.
