HARPER in embossed, painted detail and the reverse shows a distillers stamp that reads: BOTTLED BY I. W. HARPER DISTILLING CO. LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKY 86 PROOF 4/5 QUART 150 MONTHS OLD. There is a nice US tax stamp on the top hat and the underside of the base shows a makers mark that reads: ORIGINAL MOLD MADE IN 1955 FIGURE MADE IN PORTUGAL 1968. The original box is also in nice condition showing a picture of the figurine, information about the distillery, decanter, and age of spirit.
