Wow, that is cl(gl)assy! I would never have thought twice about something like that because I didn't know anything about them. Were you able to find out anything else about it? I think you should put some bourbon in it and test it out! It would be cool to see it with the "original contents"!

Laur ..The only other Variants other then a Blank Space are Scotch and Cherry.One Site Said Scotch Was Listed As Scarce.But idk. I looked alot and just cant find one with bourbon Embossed. Im Surprised it is so Mint.Just some light staining But it looks Beautiful..Not bad for the back shelf at a little flea Market in a local Mill basement.

Yeah it is Blown 3 Mold lobes..1825-1840 from what i gather
Sometimes I wish They could tell us of Their Trips.Im sure everything it has
seen in its 170 ish Years is just as beautiful as it.

Hello Just Dig It; I really like this decanter. I will watch for a stopper for it. Please measure the top of the taper and estimate the lower diameter - and PM me with the information. We have a glass marketer that comes to out Florida Bottle Club shows and seems to always have a bunch of odd stoppers to search through.

I saved a set of your pictures and put the pattern ID on my Wanted Stoppers list.
It you are into selling it - please remember to let me know. RED Matthews
