Teddy49 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I have 3 full decanter bottles from the early 1960's. 1. IW Walker 100 proof, 1955-1960 stamp intact 2. Old Fitzgerald Green Tournament Decanter, 1957-1963 stamp intact 3. Walker's Deluxe Bourbon, 8yr, stamp in place, but torn, no date but presumed prior to 1963 I am interested in valuations and if there is a market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 We really aren’t into appraisal and such here. We also do not allow soliciting for sales or trades, since the buying, selling and trading of spirits without a license is illegal. The best advise I myself can give you is to open them up and see how you like them. It’s been said that the true value in a spirit is basically how much you like it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Too bad they aren't glass bottles. Ceramic decanters from that era often have lead contamination issues from the glaze. Maybe not so good for drinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember, more than a decade ago now, finding a case of MIchter's ceramic jugs with Pennsy Dutch markings. I thought I'd hit the jackpot but decided to buy just one jug to try before investing in the case. Good move on my part. What a shame to find a historic gem of a whiskey ruined by the ceramic.

Marekv8 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I'm actually in the midst of a Harper hunt, this one just arrived on Friday. I'm not interested in the liquid, but if you want to part with the empty decanter after either enjoying it or permanently damaging your brain-- I'm all ears. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDBourbon Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 This is a statue, advertising piece, not a decanter correct?

No, the upper cylinder of the top hat is the stopper with cork— it’s a “fifth” of KSBW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this one. They looked similar but I couldn't see the opening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
