I'm apologizing beforehand about this question.
Out here in Denver we are hunting a site, where depending on the planets alignment with the stars, we are either allowed to dig, or promptly kicked off the property.
One foreman says we can dig, the other has a myocardial when he see's us.
Anyway, the last time we were there and asked to leave, my buddy dug a partial plate, that sadly we left at the site.
The glass was amber, or brown, about 1/4" thick, and what I could make out was a man on a horse, facing to the right, and underneath was the word "railroad"
Mainly curious if it was a whiskey, or possibly a bitters.
From a site where 1880-1900's stuff is being dug.
I figured that this was the site that I would have the best chance of this question being resolved.
Thanks in advance..
Carl

Carl sounds like a Success to the Railroad flask. Is the pic close?

I wish! No, this one had the man on the horse above where it said "railroad".
The piece, as I recall, was about 4"x4", flat, and amber.
Still hoping,
Carl

Wow! Lots of horses! sadly, none of those, but you have some very nice stuff! I would say that the man on the horse was about an inch, inch and a half square, and facing to the right.
And below it was the the word "railroad".
This one is a stump-er, really wish I grabbed it in the panic to leave.
Thanks, Gleaner, epackage,
Carl
