Description

This is the real deal for whiskey decanter collectors and football history buffs alike. Kessler's Limited Edition Spirit of Sports Ceramic series kicks off with The Football Player, a hand-painted cobalt blue and gold figurine standing approximately 15 inches tall and depicting an early American football player in classic leather-pants-and-no-helmet style. The 750ml decanter held 80 Proof Blended Whiskey bottled by Julius Kessler Company of Louisville, Kentucky, and still bears its original hang tags, intact federal tax strip seal across the back, and original box. Condition is excellent with vibrant glaze, crisp lettering on the Kessler base, and all original paper materials present, making this a first-in-series collectible that serious figurine hunters and sports memorabilia collectors will battle over.
