Today I went to a hilltop that was recently bulldozed there is lots of broken glass pottery large foundation stones and brick there I am very certain this site was a warehouse to one of the many Kentucky bourbon distilleries that were around during the mid 1800s to the early 1900s so enjoy the artifacts and any help identifying any of them would be greatly appreciated

This small figurine seems to be made of porcelain or some kind of clay it is just the torso and has the numbers 280 5/0 1/2 carved on its back any idea what it is?

Here is a rose glass bottle neck with a stopper found in a nearby fence row I’m sure you can’t identify them but cool nonetheless

A massive blue glass bottle base probably around 7 inches wide with very crude seams and
K X G7 5 in raised lettering on the bottom a time frame on this and the other artifacts would be appreciated thanks

From what I can tell, your doll , bottle neck and the glass stoppers probably date 1890s to around 1910 . I would be hunting this site hard !!

Short answer some are rare and valuable Most smalls like this are 5 bucks for heads. same for a pair of arms or legs. The bigger they are the higher they go. Traceable markings are very easy to research. There is a guy in germany that makes a side living off of Heads arms and legs
