Re: 1975 Seagram's benchmark premium biurbon
This bottle is benchmark " American Legion:" 6 yr 750 ml circa 1975, The bottle decepts Fort Snelling in Minneapolis.
Seagrams was a Canadian company started in 1857 in Waterloo Ontario , Canada. I would imagine you live in the United States as this has an import/ label seal. The fact that it states "federal law forbids sale or re-use of this bottle". Due to state and provincial laws you would need a licence to sell it. Spirt bottles are now refundable here in Canada for 25 cents a piece but then they are broken and recycled.
There is a link with more information here

Est Value is $150-$200 US.
Please remember to abide to state provinical laws if selling as you could be subject to fines / imprisonment.
