In 1972 or 1973 I believe it was American Tobacco bought Jim Beam. After that point they began producing ungodly amounts of the Regal China ceramic bottles and cheapening their design so naturally prices went down dramatically.

In fact it pretty much ruined the Jim Beam collecting field. Beams that had previously sold for 100's of dollars became worth a fraction of that. Lots of folks got left holding the bag on these and the market for them has never came back.

When Beam made them they were all ACTUAL limited editions. Only so many made and specific amounts allocated to each state.

The Horseshoe, I don't know a price but guessing $20-25.00 on a good day just cuz it's the Shoe.
