Trav Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 I normally despise going to garage sales, but I got dragged to a few over the weekend. Am glad I did too. I found this old Jim Beam bottle. Dont know much about it, but am guessing it is early 70s. Is anyone familiar with it? "May success follow your every cast." - Trav P. Johnson
Danoinark Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Trav, here is the info Dano http://cgi.ebay.com/Jim-Beam-Glass-Decante...8QQcmdZViewItem Another site said it was produced in 1975. Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"
Terry Beeson Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I'm more familiar with its former contents... Nice find, though...

Snow Fly Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I have the same bottle! My wife bought it for me about 3 years ago.

Trav Posted January 25, 2008 Author Posted January 25, 2008 Thanx Dano I paid 50 cents for it....5 bucks is a great turnover. I think I will hang on to it though. "May success follow your every cast." - Trav P. Johnson

Hank Williams Jr. Some of us will never learn I know someone who has this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/JIM-BEAM-RENOS-HAROLDS...1QQcmdZViewItem Oh by the way, guess who bought the decanter from the link Dano found? It will look good on my fly bench if I put some Crown Royal in it. Not as much said about how the flies I tie will look the next day. Don Don May I caught you a delicious bass.
