Batty & Co. of London was established in 1824. I can find 1902-1906 references to this company and their pickles/sauces. This is a mustard jar.
I won it at the bottle club last week.

Thanks, Sean! I really liked it too.
Your very welcome SpiritBear !!
Hi, Spirit. Does "won" mean auction? Raffle? Target shooting? Scottish kilt dancing contest?..... just curious. [;>)
I could be a horrid liar and say it as for the best target-shooter, especially since someone commented on the great line-up of targets (scarce/rare bottles) on the desk for 'show and tell' that day, but it was a raffle where $5 gets 6 tickets.
"High Class" pickles & sauce. I didn't know the hoi polloi had their own pickles & sauce!
We do! :P
Cool!

What an odd 1885 ad. Thanks. :)
They still had 1906 refs., so it doesn't look like Heinz took down their name by then.
No - look at my first link - there is the history. Heinz kept the name overseas for a while. That add is an Indian Sikh. One of their sauces was Indian inspired. The Nabob sauce. (Nattering Nabob...?)
