Description
BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Mid-Century Modern Musical United States Rocket Ship Figural Liquor Decanter
This mid-century promotional musical liquor decanter is designed in a stylized Space Age rocket form. The piece is constructed with a polished brass cylindrical body supported by three flared fins terminating in spherical feet. The top section consists of a decorative crown-like gallery surrounding a domed cap that covers the decanter opening. The main body features large black block lettering reading UNITED STATES. Several paper labels are affixed to the upper gallery area for G. H. Mumm and Co. Extra Dry Champagne, including yellow, blue, and red variants. The black plastic base houses a mechanical music box movement marked JAPAN with a brass winding key and a metal start-stop pin. A gold-toned paper label on the base identifies the musical selection as Moonlight Sonata.
Condition report:

The paper labels remain largely intact but show minor scuffing, edge peeling, and light fading. Mechanical components are present, but functionality has not been tested.
