Although I found this a couple days ago, it took me a few days to get it into presentable condition for a photo. I found it in my current favorite place, the pit where the underground garage is being made. Comparing my favorite places to Cru's can't really be done. Sometimes we only have one day or a few hours when we can search building sites. Sometimes weeks, sometimes only a weekend. Most of the time for a normal building site, after about 50cm of dirt is removed the trucks come with sand the same day and dump it into the pit. So some times we also have 0 hours to search. Pity that we can't search year after year like Cru.
It is a mustard pot but is somewhat smaller than my first one which I found a few years ago, so it could have been a children's toy. It has its bumps and dents, but because its hard tin, not soft tin, it will be too hard to restore. You cannot bend it very easy and have to use heat at a specific temperature which I don't want to try. Have done a little work on it, but will stop before I go too far. But still very happy to have another in my collection!
The size of the pot is 3" x 2.5". It has a tin seal of quality on it, a rose, with the letters RB with a crown above the rose. This object was made especially for RB, that is his house mark. Had to be a rich guy! For the rest the tin is in good shape, no tin disease on it at all. I know it does not look like much, but try to find one yourself! This is my 2nd, the first was a real Mustard Pot, that was about 5" high.
