SOLD $1,545.00 Sold: Dec 6, 2024 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
This is a unique very hard to find “First National Bank of Chicago bottle”. For many years was the most valuable Bottle of the Beam collection (as I read in the book” Jim Beam Bottles”). In that book explained also that by 1964 the value was $2,450.00. Only 117 bottles were given to the director of the First National Bank of Chicago on the 100th anniversary of the bank. These bottles weren’t done to sale, that’s the reason they didn’t have date or distillery numbers, were intended as a gift, and are so wear and hard to find. The Chicago bottle is a lovely blue and gold empty decanter. It is in perfect condition with the stopper and the stickers in the revers of the bottle. Is approximately 11 ½ “inches tall.I am not an expert on this type of items, I am selling this bottle for a friend. Hope you take advantage of this great sale. I see only a feu other bottles like this one, at $3,400.00 to$3,800.00. I will mail this bottle on USPS Priority + insurance. Please look the photos and ask questions if you need, I will try to find the right answers asap. Thanks (Condition: Pre-Owned)
