kanegon Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 Grey Poupon c. 1980-1990 with the glazed UPC code on the side. I use it as a bow/slide but have not have had one since my last one broke about 10 years ago. The UPC code moved to the lid at some point, boo hoo, and the bottles lost their magic. You don't have one collecting brads in your shop bench do you? Thanks and happy holidays!
Jason01 Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 So the mojo lives in the UPC code? That explains alot.
kanegon Posted December 24, 2012 Author Posted December 24, 2012 They just don't make them like they used to....

rj2858 Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 How huge are your fingers, that you can use a mustard jar as a slide?

kanegon Posted December 25, 2012 Author Posted December 25, 2012 Actually, I hold it in my right hand, in place of picking. I slide and bow with it at the same time.
kanegon Posted December 25, 2012 Author Posted December 25, 2012 Can't keep anything flat on my lap. I even play dulcimers like a guitar.

kanegon Posted December 26, 2012 Author Posted December 26, 2012 Hublien or RJR?Did Nabisco change the shape that much?Guess the RJR era. They were/are still the same shaped jars, the only difference being the labeling was glazed onto the glass for a good few years, till they moved the UPC bars to the lid and eventually the sticker you see now. I loved the Steve Howe meets Glen Branca meets An Index of Metals (Fripp) sorta bowing effect I was getting from the raised UPC code and ingredients list but can't find any more of those jars!

kanegon Posted December 27, 2012 Author Posted December 27, 2012 You can most likely silk screen yourself a barcode and some of the text... it's pretty cheap and voila... I am not sure if there would be a curing time.Nahh, the ink would have to dry GLASS hard. That's the secret to these pre-CBS era Grey Poupon jars.
