Nah, Brah,

They were discussing this guy @ Current Auctions and Sales under Is this guy serious? The mook from Pequannock has an imperfect understanding of bottles and the values thereof, but he did have that mustard

. I'd like to say I've dug one, but "but, No-o-o-o-o." I'm sure they come up from time to time, under a less delusional platform.

Well, go dig one and then post it here (just joking).

Not a true barrel but pretty cool anyway. I dug this a few years ago at a bar and grill that was in operation in the 1870's-80's. It was called the "Ringtown Saloon". It was a place the black soldiers at a nearby Fort could go for drinks and a steak. It was about 3 miles from the fort they were stationed at. The buffalo soldiers weren't allowed to drink at the nearby town of Mobeetie Tx. This saloon was out in the middle of nowhere.

The Embossment says SOCIE'TE' COOPERATIVE BORDEAUX. I guess it was a type of Frenches mustard.[][]

Hi Gunsmoke,
That is definitely a French mustard. Your right its not a barrel, but its another classic design used by the French and U.S. mustard manufacturers during the 1800's. You could have a collection of mustard jars based on this design alone.
This one you don't come across too often.
Thanks for posting your jar.

Here is a new mustard barrel that my sister in law and I recently won at auction. It was cleaned with just Bar Keepers Friend. It still has a tad of inside stain, hardly noticeable.
Its a fancy and large (over 7" high). Its a Henry Wichert mustard and is reportedly very rare (don't know if it is). We have never seen one and are glad to add it to our collection. Tooled top, smooth base and very fancy. Probably 1880's.
