Old Forester Bonded “Lamp” Decanter, 1953-1958
This decanter came with a mail-in envelope to order a kit that would convert the empty bottle into a lamp, similar to how some enterprising young bourbonites are making them today.

Old Forester Bonded Decanter, 4/5qt, 1964-1969
The 1969 was the last Holiday Decanter produced by Old Forester. It was designed by industrial art icon Raymond Loewy.
Most of the Old Forester decanters had hollow caps, so if the bottle was inverted the caps would fill with whiskey, as you can see in the last pic here.
Brown Forman President’s Choice 8yr, 115.6pf, ~1969
This was bottled from a select barrel by the President of Brown Forman and given as gifts to important friends or business associates of the distillery.
