My Father-in-law is a liquor salesman and gave me the red one years ago, which I still have. They are very nice. Wish they did one for every year!

Came across the yellow one at a garage sale back in 2004-5 and picked it up for $10. Sold it within a month to a Corvette guy with the same color/model car. Got to talking to him at a cruise-in and mentioned I had the decanter. He offered $75 for it and I sold it to him the next day.
