CHIEF ILLINIWEK #5 ILLINI UNIV. OF ILLINOIS DECANTER


10-1/2" tall limited edition ceramic decanter made in 1987 by Old Commonwealth Distillery to honor the University of Illinois' Chief Illiniwek. This is the last in a series of five. This decanter has been repaired. Horse's right ear has been glued back on and the tail has been glued back on. The ear is rather noticeable but the tail is very hard to detect unless looking closely. There is a small 1/8" X 1/4" chip under the tail. Otherwise, A-1 condition.

9-1/2" tall (375ML) "sample" or "one-of-a-kind" ceramic decanter made by Old Commonwealth Distillery to honor the University of Illinois' Chief Illiniwek. This decanter may differ from the regular issue in color (we don't have a regular issue to compare it to-but we do not remember the regular issue having as vivid a color) and does not have a "backstamp" (identifying print underneath). Since we do not have a regular issue to compare to, there may be other differences. A-1 condition.

CHIEF ILLINIWEK #1 ILLINI UNIV.ILLINOIS SAMPLE DECANTER



13-3/4" tall ceramic decanter made in 1979 by Goto of Japan for Old Commonwealth Distillery. This is a "sample" or "one-of-a-kind" decanter. It differs from the regular issue in that it has no "backstamp" (identifying print underneath) such as is on the regular issue and it still has the Goto sample identifying tag on the bottom. A-1 condition except for 2 china separations on the headdress. One is on the left and is visible from both front and back of the decanter. The other is much smaller and visible only from the front. Unless looking at the decanter closely, it is difficult to detect either separation.

ONE-OF-A-KIND COAL MINER #1 DECANTERS

Pictured are 3 different Old Commonwealth #1 coal miner decanters. The one in the center is the decanter actually issued in 1975. It is 13-1/2" tall and a limited edition. The decanters to the left and right are "sample or mock-up" decanters. They differ from the regular issue in that both are about 1/4" shorter in height, have different stoppers, different colored pails, and different colored shovels. The samples also have more contrast to them. We believe both of the samples to be the only ones like them in existence.
