Chartered by Congress in the aftermath of World War I, the American Legion marked its 50th anniversary in deep cobalt blue glass — an embossed eagle standing guard over this 1969 JW Dant bourbon decanter.
Maker: JW Dant
Materials: Cobalt blue glass
Dimensions: 11.0" tall (with stopper), 4.5" wide, 2.0" deep
Origin: USA
Era: Vintage, 1969

One side carries a commemorative decal honoring the Legion's soldiers; the other features a boldly embossed American eagle. The bottle neck has four small pour spouts, and the stopper is a large round cobalt blue glass dome with an embossed eagle foil label. It retains the original JW Dant side label — bottled in Louisville, Kentucky — plus a partial original tax strip, and the bottom is embossed "J.W. Dant 1969."
A natural display piece for Veterans Day, Memorial Day, and the 4th of July — and a great gift for a veteran, a legionnaire, a bourbon collector, or any dad who appreciates American history.
The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 by veterans of World War I and has grown into one of the most influential nonprofit organizations in the United States, with nearly 2 million members today.
