No Sunlight today, It's been cloudy & drizzling rain all day today & yesterday. Sucks digging in the mud. LEON.

Oh yeah, that Stockdale is definitely a back-bar bottle. Even with the loss, provided it is a brand from a collectible distillery it is probably the most valuable of the lot.

And in the image with the whiskey and the strange shaped bottle you left behind in the dirt, well, it looks like another back-bar bottle! Who knows, you may be tapping into a zone with a good number of back bar bottles dumped after the saloons closed shop due to prohibition. I'd definitely go back and cave that spot in and dig it out in search of more. Some had cut/etched and gilded lettering, which should hold up far better than the paint. Good luck!

Thanks for info, I kinda figured must be from nearby saloon. Yeah, Would be cool to find more. Should be back real soon with help. Heres some Pics of Pretty Blue Hemingray No 9 Insulator, Back sez Patent date of May 2nd 1893. Is this thing worth anything? LEON.

Another pic. I know they come in different colors, is the blue worth more? LEON.

Those insulators are about as common as the dirt you found it in. [] I can't sell them for more than a dollar. Pay attention to ones with swirls of different colors or random junk in the glass. I saw a hemingray 42 i think it was, super common and in the standard blue color, but it had a 1921 penny inside of it. Think brought over 2 grand.

Thats what I thought, I did see a cool odd colored one get about $800 on ebay a few years ago. LEON.

Went back to see what I left in my hole behind the Painted backbar Stockdale Whiskey. Was hoping for another cool piece but pulled out a plain bottle. Cool shape though. I'll find something better on a return trip. Treasurehunt Tom went with me & pulled out a Cool Art Deco Soda bottle. LEON.
