Found this Gulden's Capers bottle a while back in freshwater. It was heavily stained with rust and river scum. 
Sent it out to a gal I met at the bottle show and she did a nice job on it.

Here are the "Before & After" photos. 

Any idea on value?  Is this the for runner of Charles Gulden of the famous "Gulden's Mustard?"

Still has some tiny scratches in it, but I was happy and it displays nicely...  good color, some seed bubbles and nice elongated strecth marks in the neck.
