Decorative Whiskey Bottle or Decanter- 1938
This is an old Whiskey bottle with starburst decorations on 2 sides and plain ovals on 2 sides. This bottle does not appear to be missing any label and could have been utilized as a fancy decanter as well.
It measures 11 ¾ inches tall and 12 inches around the widest point and is free from scratches, chips, or cracks. The stopper is hollow glass with a cork covered stopper that is worn.
The bottom of the bottle is embossed with:
Permit Number: L 9918
Was made at plant: 1 (Toledo, Ohio)
Is an O-I production: Owen-Illinois
Made in: 1938
Symbol of purchaser: 55-64
Also embossed on the bottom is "Federal Law forbids sale or reuse of this container", which also dates it back to this time period.
Mr. Planter's Peanut Jars
Theses two decorative jars were created in 1983 by Anchor Hocking glass and have the anchor in the rectangle on the bottom along with Mr. Peanut embossed in the glass.
The sides are cut with diamonds and a "grass" like pattern and are both exactly alike. The lids are hollow and stay in place with a plastic stopper. There are 2 side seams that have been ground smooth and each jar is 8 inches tall and 11 ½ inches around.
These bottles would work well to use as barware or at home for peanuts or any other kind of snack. They also work well for gifts filled with Planter’s Peanuts! They are in perfect condition with no chips, scratches, or cracks in the glass.

Old Taylor Castle
Woodford County, Ky
The Story of a Castle
The following is an excerpt from an Old Taylor Distillery promotion of a ceramic castle replica decanter :
Back in 1887, Colonel Edmund H. Taylor Jr., set out to make a bourbon so good that it would honor his name long after his time.
He began by seeking out a very special kind of water; limestone spring water. Water with a clean, tantalizing taste that it acquires naturally as it bubbles up through limestone ground rock.
The Colonel discovered his spring at Glenn’s Creek near Frankfort, Kentucky. The water here gushed up so pure, so plentiful, that he knew he would never want to make bourbon anywhere else.
So, beside this perfect spring, he built his distillery. And since he knew he was there to stay, he built it to last. Built it in the form of a castle, and made of the very limestone that was to give his water its intriguing flavor.
The castle is still there today, complete with tower and turrets. It’s the Colonel’s enduring symbol of great bourbon making tradition.
