Got this Mustard off Feebay. I've never seen this one before. It is shaped just like the ones you usually see embossed London. This one is embossed Kentucky. Anyone seen this before?

Hey Rory,

Happy New Bottle, man! That is killer. Burrowes / Baker maybe?

Great thread from the archives: https://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/London-Mustard/m-4386/tm.htm

See here: Olive R. Jones. London Mustard Bottles.

"The Kentucky Glass Works of the 1850- 1855 period did not mark any wares with their glasshouse name or initials. Very little is known concerning which bottles found in collections were actually made there in the earliest years. One type which does likely date from the early period is the bottle with the lettering "KENTUCKY" vertically embossed on the side, similar in shape to the imported London Mustard bottles. There are two known versions of this bottle, one of which carries the spelling "KENTUCKEY". The mold was later altered to correct the spelling and this alteration can be seen on close scrutiny." From.

Well, that explains the mark after the "Y" that I was gonna ask about. That's a great looking bottle, Rory.

Thanks Ya'll, I was wondering about that thing after the "Y" too. If you look you can see part of the "E" still in the "Y".
