Description

This vintage commemorative ceramic decanter was produced in 1974 by Royal Halburton China for Old Mr. Boston (OMB). Shaped in the form of a classic fire engine pumper truck, the piece features a red, white, and blue paint scheme with silver-chrome accent trim. The sides of the hose body bear the script lettering "Spirit of 76", while the front hood is painted with "Mooseheart F.D." alongside door emblems representing the Loyal Order of Moose. A removable red and silver emergency light beacon serving as the bottle stopper caps off the cab roof.

Originally filled with Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey from Old Mr. Boston, the underside of the base features clear raised mold markings reading "OMB LIQUOR BOTTLE NO-33 1974 ROYAL HALBURTON CHINA". Issued by the Order of Mooseheart (OMB) in 1974 ahead of the 1976 United States Bicentennial celebrations, this decanter was produced in limited quantities as a collectible fraternal organization piece.
