Hey Jam,

Very nice one, great eagle! Did'ya see https://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/Embossed-mustard-barrels/m-455862/tm.htm

Our member SC pontil collector (who hasn't signed on lately) is most knowledgeable on the barrels.

Could'ya get a straight on shot of the base, please?

Looks like possibly a sand pontil to me.

You are posting in the wrong place. That bottle is WAY before 1900.

Zumwalts book pg 171.Listed extremely rare(more have been found since books publishing dats)Geissen first listed in 1857 as a grocer,mustard manufacturing listed in 1862,by 1875 listed as a wine dealer.Might have sold the mustard manufactury to Gulden as address was similar.I need this one for my collection if you want to sell it.There is a another type of his mustard without the eagle
