I would say it's a glass stirring rod buy i've never seen one 18 inches long. Are both ends "finished"?
How "old" was the old bottling company? There is a reason I ask, although I suspect i'm going in the wrong direction.
DOWN WITH AMERICAN DIGGERS, SAY NO TO SPIKE TV! THEY MAKE ALL OF US LOOK BAD!

That's where I was heading when I asked how old the bottling company was.
You guys are such kidders! Maybe it's a bottle probe left by an earlier digger.
If it's not a towel rod, it might be some specialized tool (or part) of a bottling machine. Glass, because glass can be sterilized readily; and/or it wouldn't be affected by the sulphuric acid used in producing carbon dioxide from marble powder. Or, it may be something totally unconnected with the bottling plant, other than by proximity.

I originally thought that too because the one end looks black. I will try to get a better picture. And there was Pontil found on the property. I did a little more research and it appears the property is a lot older than 1890's, before that they were a wiskey dealer with crock jugs and such...
