Black Glass Barrel???

[Ben]

This was part of a small collection of bottles I recently purchased. I have no idea what it is. It is super dark. Any help identifying it would be appreciated. Is it common? Food? Snuff?... Thanks!

Wow that's interesting, it looks like a mustard jar but I've never seen one in black glass before.

Maybe the star on the bottom is a clue as to the manufacturer, years made, etc.

I Have Seen Fire Kegs That Looked Like That .But metal neck band and loop handle Ring Is Missing On Yours . look for hazelton's high pressure chemical fire keg . even without the missing parts it a good find . good luck .

It's British, late 19th C. A food paste jar in all likelihood. I have a few of these, and am looking for color variants I don't have.

Cool bottle! Can we get a picture of it held up to a light? I'd like to know if it's a dark green or dark brown.

Thanks for the info! I'll try and get a picture with light through it when I get home. I like it and think its neat but I'm probably going to sell it.
