Old trash hole find no embossing but some of the label still on it

Nice find, the color is great! The label is a nice bonus.

Because of the paneled shoulder and the strange neck shape, combined with the root mass, I thought for some time I was diiging out a kerosene lamp base. I was surprised when it turned out to be a bottle.

Interesting whiskey bottle "MOONSHINE" w/embossed face.

I dug this bottle up back in 1998, never have had any luck finding information on it. Nor have I ever seen another. It is embossed "MOONSHINE". Which is approximately 15 to 20 or so years before the term wood become common during prohibition. The seem stops at the applied lip, and the bottle...
