Amber barrel mustard shaped polish

[appliedlips]

Here is one I got awhile back that I really enjoy. It is the size of an average mustard but is embossed POLISH on one side and OIL on the other.It is not pontilled but was dug in a 1860 era privy..I have talked to some other diggers and these seem to show up in the Cincinnati area and even come pontilled. This one was dug across the river in Newport,Ky.. While fondling it recently I noticed the lip treatment and it really caught my attention.Initially, I thought it was outwardly rolled but it appears to be a laid on ring that was rolled both inwardly and outwardly.I cannot remember seeing this treatment before. From the inside it looks like every other inward rolled lip I have seen. You can see that dirt is still trapped where it is rolled on both sides. Has anyone seen this before?Thanks for looking

I'd love to dig one of those...A cool twist on the barrel mustards. Very nice color, form and embossing. Joe

Doug, ive dug the aqua Op mustards before and never really had any interested in keeping them for my collection but if I dug a killer crude amber one like that, I would def put that in a nice spot on the self. I hope you keep posting more bottles from you collection you dug over the years. Or maybe a nice group shot? Pleeeeeaasee[]

Cool bottle. Is it possible that the lip is applied?
