CIVIL WAR????

HuntingVa · Jan 11, 2009

So i was digging with HUTCH911 and his girlfreind on a spot we have which is a known civil war camp with hut sites and all which i will be digging out at least one tomorrow

, but anyways i got an iffy signal which turned out to be a 12th georgia button lol and almost broke it it was burried pretty good and there are alot of manufactured imperfections in the glasswork ie bubbles, uneven surface, uneven inside and lines in the glass like stress fractures but there not stress fractures? there is no mark on the baseand the seam is very uneven is it civil war or can anyone date it or tell me what it is thanks guys hh

that's an applied lip whisky bottle, would be worth more if embossed...

Im betting 1890-1900 to, does it have a seem on the sides couldnt see pictures very well and does it have a seem on the bottom. Alot of bottles around 1890-1900 are two and three peice seemed on the side and hand finished on the neck . Good Luck with your hut site's !
