This figurine, music box, McCormick Bourbon decanter has been made from the orginal mold that was made for the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Elvis love Hawaii. He went there very often and did concerts. He had even made movies there for his contribution of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The procedes were his donation.
This decanter/figurine is NOT a replica but was made in 1977 like I had said from the same orginal mold. This mold has since been destroyed.
This had not been open until I now to take photos of it.
I had owned a liquor store and this was a promotional item to be sold by McCormick Distilling Company.
I also have Elvis '68. I will will also be adding photos and history on this item.
Elvis MemorabiliaSince his death in 1977, Elvis Presley has routinely been listed by “Forbes…
I have searched the internet to find this item and was NOT able to find it.
Is there anyone out there that knows about this Music Box/Decanter?
I have owned this decanter/music box since 1977. I have collected two of these Elvis Aloha Decanters. They are excellent condition. I have taken them out of their boxes for the first time to take photos to post here. I have searched the internet and can NOT find these GREAT figurines as I would like to collect more. Is there anyone out there that knows more about the history of these wonderful decanters. Beautifully hand painted.
Robin that one you posted doesn't have the Pearl Harbor Memorial on it like his .
So if Robin's website isn't correct..where is the correct website?
if your just looking to place to buy Elvis decanters without Pearl Harbor Ebay has them . I thought yours was unique with Memorial to Pearl harbor and you wanted more like it . Just search ebay McCormick decanters Elvis and look at them . I am not sure what you you wanted to know . Just Elvis decanters are easy to find .

Thanks for the comments...they are VERY helpful. I looked on eBay and found them. My decanter is also a music box and if filled with McCormick Bourbon. eBay doesn't allow alcohol to sold. And yes, the primary reason I put this item here is to find out more about it. Does anyone know of a site that would be interested in purchasing it. I also have an Elvis '68 McCormick Bourbon decanter/music box. It has also never been open and if filled with liquor. Please advise..thank you
