GENERAL INFORMATION. The Cliquot Club Bottling Company ordered 2,500 miniatures of its company logotype Eskimo holding a bottle of Ginger Ale standing on a snow-covered pen stand.  The company printed 2,500 microminiature labels which were glued on to each bottle.
     In 1964, Baston exchanged the bottle with a fish and removed the pen stand for a figurine which was first sold at the Alaska display in New York's 1964 World Fair and then distributed through the retail line.
