    yeah they are legit, an official promo item from 1994 I believe, bar code on the back of the tin and all that, made by epic

    cool! What kind of liquor is in there? Jack?

    Yeah its Jack, they come in a JD presentation tin with vitalogy inserts....the bottles are defo standard mini JD bottles...

    as for where this came from, a collector in the US who decided he'd had them long enough, the deal took 5 months to complete, I had to be real patient!!! But it was well worth it, been monitoring ebay for this for 2 years and only ever seen 1, and missed out at the last second.

    I've been on the search for the Jack Daniels promo for a long time but the 2 times that I've run into it its been way to expensive..

    Congrats on those finds!!

    thanks, where I live, absolutely no one appreciates these one bit, they look at me a little funny, and say something along the lines of 'whats the big deal'.

    NICE JOB!! You finally got them!! BASTARD!! ;) Would love to know what they set you back, and where you came accross them. Maybe in a pm if you dont want to say here, but I would love to hear the story! I for one am very excited for you. As a collector, I know what these are and are all about and how excited you must be.....That and the chase for them is just as much fun!!! GOOD GOING!! :)

    Wow, those are awesome - congrats!!

    Nice finds!

    they were pricey but to me - well worth it, and I paid for them 3 months ago when things were much better than they are now, which has certainly helped!!

    Thanks Jimmy,

    Sam had two spare this year and sold them both to Massimo....

    I tried to get one at the time as I knew I'd be one short with this set, but I'm not so bothered.

    If I see one anywhere I'll let you know, then try and satisfy my urge to complete this set with the second ball.

    I do have the green ball but thats nothing like this one and nowhere near as well made
