Default Who drinks Bourbon

I have a 63 SWC Decanter I've had ,I guess 25 years now. It still has the bourbon in it. Never broke the seal. Was wondering what it's worth.

I think Ebay will provide your answer regarding fair market value.

I also had one for about 25 years or so, seal still intact. Gave it to a charity auction to help raise money for New Orleans Children's Hospital. It brought about $125 if I remember correctly. This is probably a bit high, since the money was for charity.

Nah! She had to clean up the mess. She's been around since 1966 and still around.

I forget who made these things. The '63 coupe bottles came in light blue and maroon. They were free to liquor stores as a promotion. I might have gotten mine free because I had a Corvette and I was buddies with the liquor store owner. He was a car bug too. I think mine was bottled about 1975?

What color is it? They came in a few different colors. Just like the cars. Some colors are more popular than others

Check Ebay for 1963 Jim Beam decanter, there are lots of them.

Try Larceny Bourbon, fantastic, but not sold on Ohio...

There were also Indy car decanters--I remember seeing one of the 1967 STP turbine car and one of the 1972 Olsonite Eagle, both of which broke--the actual racecars, not the decanters.

I read the title and thought this would be moved to OT where they speak a different language. Then came the idea, why cant our midyear section have our own OT?

Hard to say with the little info you have provided. Original? Mods? Barn kept or left outside? How many miles? Gotta say having the original fluids still in it sounds like a Survivor for sure. Pics would be a big help, including the trim tag and VIN.
