Title: Identity & Value of Vintage Whiskey Jug / Decanter
Post by: mygrandmasattic on March 20, 2012, 09:31:48 PM

Hey there again!  I'm looking to find information on the approx. age and value of this cool looking whiskey decanter.  It reads "1/5 of gallon" impressed in the glass as well as "Whiskey" and "Dover-Liverpool 1748".  There are no markings on the bottom of the bottle.  It came with a lockable screw on lid and a padlock reading OAL Italy.  The OAL symbol is either a cross or a 4-leaf clover.  The backside of the padlock appears to have a knight picture.  Not sure if the lock is original to the bottle or not.  Any information further would be great!  Thanks ahead of time :D

That light is pretty cool and the base is definitely similar.  Hmmm ...

It's a great idea to padlock the scotch from your kids - if only it were a bit easier to get at when I want it ;) haha
