Good day everybody, Went back to the hole today, I got this strange Whiskey bottle? it does not have any seams? But the middle of the body seems to have a real faint one, it goes around, not up and down. Check pictures, I was just starting to get this bottle thing down and this pops out! NEED HELP!

It's a turn mold . When the bottle was blown it was spun in the mold to get rid of the mold seems and on a three piece mold the "horizontal" seem would still be there. This type of spinning really only worked on cylinders such as the one you found.

That type of molding was pretty common around the end of the 19th century. The bad thing about those bottles is they wont ever have embossing so they tend to not have much value unless a good color.
