First Issue 1968 Stizel Weller Decanter Old World Collectors Gallery Genuine Porcelain.Has The WEARIN O THE GREEN Poem And Decorated With Shamrocks and a Harp Playing Leprechaun. Issued in 1968 with the word GOD in the Poem. IN 1968 The Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms and Tobacco banned the use of the word GOD on alcohol bottles. The bottles were recalled and destroyed. They were reissued with the word “be” in place of GOD.Don’t know how many bottles got out, but that same year they stopped producing the “God” bottles and changed the phrase to “prase be”. So I think the “God” bottles are the rarest of the full set of 30.The Wearing of the Green" is an Irish street ballad lamenting the repression of supporters of the Irish Rebellion of 1798. It is to an old Irish air, and many versions of the lyric exist, the best-known being by Dion Boucicault.[1] The song proclaims that "they are hanging men and women for the wearing of the green".“When law can stop the blades of grass from growin' as they grow, And when the leaves in summer-time their colour dare not show”Decanter is empty.
