Description

Elevate your home bar or vintage decor with this striking pair of mid-century gold electroplated glass decanter bottles! Originally manufactured in 1961 by the Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation for Stitzel-Weller Distillery’s legendary Old Fitzgerald Bourbon, these impressive statement pieces measure 12 inches tall by 4 inches wide. Featuring an ornate geometric and diamond lattice texture finished in bright metallic gold, these bottles were specially designed to double as stylish candlestick holders once emptied, capturing the iconic glam aesthetic of the 1960s.

The undersides feature fully legible historical markings embossed directly into the glass base. Each bottle displays the mandatory Prohibition-era federal warning, "FEDERAL LAW FORBIDS SALE OR RE-USE OF THIS BOTTLE," which dates their mold designs prior to 1964. They are also stamped with the liquor permit code L-3524, the Anchor Hocking logo, and the explicit 61 date stamp, authenticating their 1961 vintage production.

Both bottles remain in very good vintage condition, exhibiting minor surface wear and light patina consistent with age that adds to their authentic mid-century character. Whether you are a collector of Stitzel-Weller bourbon memorabilia, vintage barware, or mid-century Hollywood Regency home accents, this matching pair makes an outstanding conversation piece. Don't miss your chance to add these unique pieces of American whiskey history to your collection!
