Hey everybody - he says we're nice! Wow - keep reading, we are a typical family[8|]

Welcome to the forum Al Capone! Can't help you with the bottle, but I don't think it's worth $9. Save your money, buy a shovel, go digging and find your own! You will be happier! (IMHO)

thanks for all the replies,sucks that i got burned but oh well live and learn,i would still kinda like to find out what it is if anyone comes across

Looks like a miniature liquor bottle to me. If all you lost is $9.00 don't worry about it. Just learn a lesson to next time buy something you know what it is before you bid on it.

I agree with Jay.. a mini liquor bottle.. it could still be old, those have been around for over a hundred years.. if you have it in your posession now, try to take a clear pic of it for us, sit it in a windowsill or outside somewhere.. and like these guys said, 9 bucks is a nice cheap lesson.. I blew 26 plus shipping on a worthless bottle on ebay my first time.. but i still love bottles!
