Shipping
:
FREE
domestic shipping,
includes
insurance.   We do NOT insure International orders unless buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance estimate.  If an international shipping charge is much more than the actual shipping cost, we will refund the excess so what YOU pay for shipping/insurance is very close to, if not exactly, the ACTUAL shipping costs! This is important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are estimates.  We do not falsify information on the Customs Form, such as a price other than what the actual purchase price is, so please do not request us to do so. We ship several times a week and your prompt payment will hasten the turn-around time.   Note that the small white stryo-foam pellets were put into the bottle for photo'ing, they have since been emptied out and are NOT part of the sale.
This is a very old milk style bottle, that originally came with a tin top (lid) and wire 'lightning' type closure that clamped the tin top down inside the lip of the bottle where it seated on a groove that had been hand-tooled inside the mouth of the bottle.  That part of the bottle is long gone, rusted away into eternity, so that all that is left now is the glass bottle.  The bottle probably held a liquid mustard paste, though it sounds more like a powdered product with the Mustard Mills embossing.  Most of the old tin top milk bottles seen  are un-embossed so it is refreshing to find one that is embossed with the company name on it, embossed inside of a slug plate.  We've only ever seen two of these in many years of collecting,
