Best known of the various Carnival whiskey bottles, Golden Wedding is found in five sizes: nip (1/10th pint), 1/2 pint, pint, quart, and two quart. These two have different closures; one with cork style (presumably older) and one with screw top. Both are courtesy of Carl and Eunice Booker. Bottles with labels bring more money--the better the label, the better the price. Known only in marigold.
