The story was that some liquor company was going going to sell these (there was a John Unitas one as well) with some sort of whiskey in them but for whatever reason they were not given permission...

If anyone has more detail, I would love to hear it:
Bill,

That's the same story I've heard as well. Pictures don't do them justice. Mine came with a wooden base. Did yours?
