Beam Harolds Club Or Bust Wagon Whiskey Decanter Appraisal

Beam Harold's Club "Or Bust" Wagon Whiskey Decanter

This is a ceramic whiskey decanter from the Beam 100 series, specifically the Harold's Club "Or Bust" wagon design. The decanter is molded in the shape of a covered wagon pulled by an ox with a driver. The ceramic is glazed with various colors to depict the scene: a light pink and blue sky with a white band, the tan and grey wagon and figures, and a dark grey base. The words "HAROLD'S CLUB OR BUST" are embossed on the side of the wagon. Below the wagon, a paper label is attached. This label is partially peeled and reads "4/5 QUART BEAM 100 PROOF Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey". The decanter has a screw-on metal cap with a ribbed pattern, and a brown stopper presumably made of cork or plastic beneath it, not visible in the image. The overall condition appears good, with some wear visible on the paper label and a slight unevenness in the glaze application, typical for this type of ceramic item from the mid to late 20th century. No significant chips, cracks, or repairs are apparent from the image. These decanters were popular collector's items.
