I have a pretty complete collection of decanters now, only missing a few. The one I really want to get that I don't have is the Old Bardstown Citation.
Some of the nicest of the decanters the Lionstone Secretariat (left) and Cannonade (right) decanters. The Secretariat also comes in a miniature size. These decanters are very nicely detailed, more like a figurine than a decanter, and have leather reins. There is supposed to be a prototype of one made to look like Affirmed and Alydar locked in a dual. The person who told me about this one (a decanter and breweriana dealer) said only 3 of the prototype were ever made, but I have nothing to confirm this. Find on Cannonade or Secretariat on eBay.
Another really nice figural decanter is the Rockingham Park Dr. Fager decanter.
The back has a brief history of Rockingham and the winners of the New Hampshire Sweepstakes up thru Dr. Fager. It is labelled Allen's Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey bottled by M.S. Walker, Somerville, MA. Find on eBay.
Ezra Brooks also has some nice figural decanters. To the left is Man O' War and to the right is Hambletonian. Although not nearly so detailed as the Lionstone decanters they are still nice. Find on eBay.
Below are most of the Jim Beam horse racing decanters. Quality
of these is pretty low like most of the Jim Beam items, but they are interesting. Find on eBay.
