Here is your chance to acquire a beautiful commemorative whiskey decanter for the famed Rockingham Park racetrack for acclaimed 3 year olds in horse racing of the 1.25 mile distance. It is complete and uninjured with government tax label still on cap although seal is broken and bottle is empty. The cork is split with half in the cap and half in the bottle. This item is numbered 4817. I do not know how many of this were made and there is no out of number to reference. It is identified on the bottom as MSW-2 N.H. Series Liquor Bottle. From my research these decanters were made in a limited number in 1983. I can find the information but not any of the listings of other sales as they seem to be kept and not resold.
