What an unusual piece of Americana that existed before Prohibition took place. The whiskey decanter stands 9.5" tall, with a 4x4" square body. One side of the pewter inlay has "Brook Hill" etched into it. The other side has a baseball player holding a bat, also etched in. The bottom of the glass decanter says, "Patent Applied for March 15th 1892". The bottom of the pewter inlay has "Benediot Quadruple Plate 192". The pewter inlay has been created to fit exactly around the bottle, and cannot be removed. There is a vintage brown cork in the bottle, but no drink inside...
