    Hi Cowseat. Our club has not had a show in a few years, so I am trying to get it out there, as it is new, and might not be on folks radar screens.

    BROOKLAWN CLUB -how old?

    I would say 20's to 50's. From my area the early ones all have a pedestal or foot on the base, which phased out in the late teens to early 20's, replaced with the style shown.

    Ground lip, Pontil whisky decanter?

    Could it be a Ramsey jar lid?
