Embossed mustard barrels

[SC pontil collector]

This next one is a classic among mustard barrels, though not rare its unique and stylish design sets it apart from most mustards.
The embossing is either F & B or B &F , not sure. Its pontiled as well.

This last one is an fairly early mold that was used by several different companies. Most of these mustards are considered rare. Most are open pontiled.

Probably posted 5 different times in the bottle forums, never had a reply in quite sometime.

Sorry SC. I post when I have something to add. I wasn't ignoring you by any means.
Still got nothing though.
I love those pics, much better than Zumwalt's book any day. Put up a few more.

Hey, these are hard to come by and if I were to get a reply, I seriously would be surprised.
Betty did her book back in the 80's, so I guess my pictures better be a little better with all the advances in equipment.
She has inspired a lot of collectors to even consider collecting food related bottles.
Thanks for the post and I hope fellow forum members enjoy the pictures.

Hey sc pontil collector,

Thanks for showing some of your barrels. I'd really like it, if you'd show the eagle on the Giessen's, please.

I like that fancy B&F, as well.

You could have your own Mustard Festival...

Thanks very much sc pontil collector for posting your jars , I enjoyed viewing them . I had a few of them over the years , all of them had paper labels except for the Giessen's jar , the only reason I kept it was that it was embossed . Good luck with your quest in finding more of them .

Here is a picture of the Geisson's eagle. I have seen about 5 different eagle embossing on various barrels.

I wanted to mention a French manufacturer named Louis Freres because he had a large distribution of his products in the U.S. You'll probably see more of his barrels than other manufacturer. They come in many different shapes, sizes and embossing. Smooth base and O.P.

Here is another example. This is a more common barrel of his. Its a smooth base.
