Collection Addition- October 2022

 Sometimes I get stumped by something I find. It's rare, but it happens. Such is the case with this latest find. In 1978, Michter's did a special run of decanters for the opening of the Resorts International Casino in Atlantic City, NJ. They came in a velvet box and looked like this:


 

 

 

So what the heck is this thing......................................





I can only assume it's a prototype, but without any supporting literature from my collection, I can't say for sure. Definitely never a mass-produced decanter, but it is properly labeled for filling and sale if it would have been.

Regardless, George Washington looks pleased in the above photo as he gazes upon it!
