Flaccus Bros. Milk Glass WHEELING Battleship Mustard Jar

Click to enlarge image(s)

Around the turn of the 20th century, Flaccus Bros., condiment purveyors, designed figural mustard containers in the shape of shipping vessels. There were 3 different designs - the Oregon, the Olympia, and the Wheeling. Each came in white milk glass or clear glass.

This is the Wheeling in white milk glass. It has the name of the ship across the bow, and a series of gunboats and turrets - typical of vessels during the period of the Spanish-American War. These vessels have become collectibles and are becoming harder to find.

Dimensions: Measures 6 1/4" long from bow to stern x 4 1/4" high.

Marks/Dates: c. 1900. Signed "WHEELING" on both sides of the bow.

Condition: There is a nick on the bottom of the stern point. The underside of the lid has some unevenness that was probably caused as people used utensils (i.e. a knife) to pry the lid off the mustard. Overall in excellent antique condition.
