This is a pair of 1963 cocktail sets produced by Schenley Reserve Whiskey. Both packages are sealed and each contains 6 coasters, 6 napkins, 6 stirrers and 6 hors d’oeuvres sticks. Except for the appetizer sticks (red and light gray) the other items are of various colors. The napkins and coasters have wonderful 1960’s graphics that advertise Schenley Reserve - “snacks …sociability…the life of the party!” At one point, Schenley was a big name in the whiskey making industry. Founded in the early 1920’s, it immediately ruled the whiskey world. During Prohibition, it was one of a few businesses that was allowed to make whiskey. Schenley products were bottled with a label indicating, “For Medicinal Purposes Only.” It was the only liquor made available to submarine officers at Midway in WWII. After Prohibition, Schenley continued to be one of the largest producers of whiskeys and related spirits. In the 1950’s and 1960’s, the Company’s Headquarters occupied 4 entire floors in the Empire State Building. These coasters are marked 1963 and have a NYC address. Each cocktail set is in New condition. Unopened. No fading. Great items from the past that would be fabulous additions to any Barware / Liquor collection. Price is for both packages. Cash only.
