Received Detecto's prize from the largest spill contest. Wow...sweet. Told by Detecto that it is a hand stamp, have not found anything on it. Pics below not that great, do not have a rocking camera. The image of the stamp is that of an eagle, with the flagged shield, olive branches and arrows clutched in talons, crossed revolvers below shield and talons and the following letters that are readable... ? LURIB ? S ? U...there are also 13 stars cluster around, 9 above the eagle, and 2 on each side....civil war hand stamp from an Illinois regiment ? Did I tell you this thing is rocking !!

Will have to check that route...again my camera stinks, but good details if you could see live.
 
Prize identification confirmed

Confirmed as much as I could on Detectos contest price. From what I can tell it is a half of a flask. Eagle and Stars pistol powder flask to be exact. Way, way, way sweeeeeeeeeeeeet ! Thanks again Detecto....rocking. The scripture that could not be read is E. PLURIBUS UNUM
