These are 3 of the same type Kentucky Derby Decanters that were released from 1968 thru the mid 1970's. These three are "Emerald Green", "Cobalt Blue" and "Slag Glass". These 3 decanters highlight the 2 different stopper styles that came with them. I've done some research into which years they were released and developed a list.
Amethyst/Purple - 1967
Clear Glass - 1968
Emerald Green - 1968
Milk Glass - 1969
Cobalt Blue - 1971
Slag Glass - 1972
Amber/Brown - 1973
Black Glass - 1974
I welcome any additional information or corrections.
Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you Iggy and Blunderbuss2 for the "Love it" clicks. It's appreciated.
I love the Cobalt Blue one, I have the Green and White.
I believe these are from Beam's Crystal Glass series. Here is a link to a Beam collector club website showing the decanters: http://www.jimbeamclub.com/pictorials/jimbeam/glass/crystal.html
Thanks to Rniederman. Finally someone to crack the veil of secrecy that has surrounded these particular decanters. Seldom have I seen so much misinformation regarding a series of decanters. I haven't seen anyone with the correct info, until you provided the link. Very grateful.
Thank you Karen, Destiny, Rniederman, Aura, Ho2cultcha, Vetraio50 and Caperkid for the "Love it" clicks. They are all appreciated.
Thank you SEAN68 and Trey for the "Love it" clicks.
Does anyone know who made this style of decanter for Jim Beam? I have several of these, but can't find out who made them for JB.
