Charity Bottles

History: The original Liquor World Crusade bottles were supposed to be limited to 1,200 bottles. However, the bottles themselves were not numbered, the hang tags were, so some believe the number is closer to 1,500. After that, there were several in-store dippings in gold wax, then a series in green wax. Most, but not all of those bottle have a stamp on the top of the bottle.

Number Produced: #1,200 (but very likely 1,500)

Sometimes bottles want to get away and party, and that’s exactly what this bottle did. How else did it revived all those beads? Actually, this bottle was dipped with the beads attached, so I guess it got an early start.
The bottles that were dipped with the beads were auctioned off at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival in Bardstown for Katrina victims in New Orleans. According to the buyer it was the only one made, until another couple matched the winning bid and they made another

These distributed in New Orleans, LA, however those Purple, Yellow, and Green wax bottles were dipped without the beads.

Size 1.75 L
