not far from Saratoga Springs,N.Y.
Stopped by a local construction site, did not have access, all fenced off
Noticed a lot of broken glass in the dirt piles
Went back the next day, early in the morning and picked up these two bottles and insulator

1st is a local blob, E.J. HEFFERNAN SARATOGA SPRINGS
2nd is a SARATOGA SELTZER WATER
3rd is an insulator don't know anything about

Tried to find out where they hauled all the truckloads to but nobody would say. The insulator and the blob laid right on top. The SELTZER had just the bottom showing and I knew exactly what it was before I plucked it out of the mud right next to a bulldozer track. That was one lucky bottle.
Thanks for looking, Randy

The insulator is older, definately not too modern.

Looks like a Locke piece, but I dont know enough about porcleain insulators, so I may be wrong.
