Nice find and what a coincidence,In the 60,s there was a Barq,s bottler right across the street from my Grandfathers,house here in Dumas,AR,run by a man named Travis Witherington.They had a bottle just like that one in a display in his office along with some other Barqs bottles.They,ve been out of business for a while now and I don,t know what happened to the display.They also bottled Grapette soda,Yum!Nice find for you!
 

Hey Truth, found this online. Please forgive me SodaPopBob for my copy/paste screenshot. He says it's extremely rare, as I was also thinking......No wonder we werent able to find a match, he has the only other one.I will give ya 10 bucks for it:laughing7:

Although yours is still a little different, maybe much more extremely rarer......ok, 20 bucks.

Hey villagenut can you screenshot mine and show him and see if he had any more info. Because if you read in my screenshot of the one like mine is with “the very seldom seen hobble skirt”. This is from the guy who I found his wedding ring he had lost years ago and he went into his garage and he gave me a suitcase full of bubble wrapped bottles Including ink bottles. Most of them had no embroidering but I got some old orange crush and this one that has peaked my curiosity.
 

The only thing I found out is this particular bottle is rare and even Rara with the letters being separated I just can’t find it I emailed it to a root beer specialist that I have all the different kinds of root beers I’m a see if they have any info on it still waiting. I appreciate it guys
 

Try gettin hold of SodaPopBob at antique bottles.net. I dont know him I just borrowed his post there. I think he might just be a soda pop guru....

Great find Truth! Love the bottle , Bottles and arrowheads are all part of the hobby of metal detecting even if your not looking for them ,they just appear.
