A piece of American history in cobalt blue glass. This JW Dant Kentucky Straight Bourbon decanter was produced in 1969 to commemorate the American Legion's 50th Anniversary — marking half a century since the organization was chartered by Congress in 1919 to serve the veterans of World War I. The deep cobalt blue glass is stunning. One side carries a commemorative decal honoring the Legion's soldiers; the other features a boldly embossed American eagle that is simply magnificent. 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. The bottom is embossed "J.W. Dant 1969." Complete, correct, and in wonderful condition. A natural display piece for Veterans Day, Memorial Day, and the 4th of July — and with the eagle side forward, it earns its place on the shelf year-round. 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, founded by veterans of World War I who wanted to serve their fellow servicemembers and communities. It has grown into one of the most influential nonprofit organizations in the United States, with nearly 2 million members today. JW Dant was a Kentucky Straight Bourbon brand bottled in Louisville, Kentucky, known for its collectible figural and commemorative decanters produced throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
