I'm new...

Hello I am new to this site to try to find out how much a very old White Horse Scotchbottles' worth. My home was built back in the 1800's, the bottle was found along with many other various bottles under my home. I am told that my home used to be a bootleggers. Anyway, can someone perhaps help me to figure out its' worth, I have pics, plus a detailed descript for any lettering on the bottle as well as the cap.

Hello Parker and welcome to this website. We would love to see pictures of your bottles. For best results, take pictures in natural light and try to get shots of the whole bottle plus the tops and bottoms. There are some very experienced "bottle personnel" on this site who could help identify what you have. Thanks for stopping by and we are looking forward to seeing your bottles

Most White Horse bottles are fairly common, unless older and labelled there's not many selling out there.... Welcome to the forum and please post some pics so we can give you more help

The bottle itself is a dark green. The lid is metal/tin - says Whitehorse Distillery est 1741. you can see the white horse is very predominant... on the other side of the bottle, at the bottom of the neck is raised glass in the same horse shape. on the bottom of the bottle are these Numbers & letters... 1st line; G349. 2nd line; S 1. 3rd line; UGB . It very well could be from the prohibition, due to my home being a bootleggers. I will post other pics if needed.
Can anyone give me an idea of its worth? Thanks for the replies so far :-)

You would have a hard time getting more than $5-10 for it unless you found some crazy horse loving lady who wanted to give you $20 for it at a flea market.... I wish the news was better

Thanks for the replies.... I wish it was worth more for sure, but its still a cool looking bottle. I have a lot of old bottles found from around my home, a gin bottle... most are non-threaded probably for liquid medicine, also an old looking ketchup bottle. Again thanks for the help :-)
I am now going to drink the scotch lol
