1908 - Illustrated advertising cover for Gulden's Mustard - Lawsuit contents
Illustrated letterhead for Gulden’s Mustard, Capers, and Olives with its accompanying illustrated advertising cover.  Charles Gulden.  New York: Charles Gulden, 1908. Envelope or Cover.
This colorful letter from Gulden’s Mustard contains a mimeographed notice (signed in print by Charles Gulden) informing stores the company has obtained a temporary injunction against a rival firm to prevent the sale of Chance & Son’s “Don Caesar” olives, whose name and packaging was quite similar to Gulden’s “Don Carlos” brand.
The Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in Gulden’s favor in August of 1910.
The multi-color letterhead features a jar of Gulden’s Mustard with its famous marketing spoon and two gold medals that had been awarded to the company. The illustrated advertising envelope features the same illustration in black and white. It is franked with a 2-cent red Washington stamp (Scott #309), tied with a New York machine postmark. Apparently, the cover was first mailed without a stamp as it was applied over an earlier postmark, and an additional circular red handstamp reads, “Held for Postage S.” All in nice shape.
Guilden’s, known for its spicy brown mustard, is the oldest continuously operating and third-largest mustard brand in the United States. The company was founded in 1869 by Charles Gulden, and its popularity soared after he began attaching a small metal spoon to each jar. The mustard won gold medals at the Chicago and Paris world’s fairs. Today, Gulden’s is part of the international ConAgra Foods conglomerate and is made in Milton, Pennsylvania.
A colorful record of an established food company’s effort to protect its product line from infringement by competitors.

Payment
PayPal is preferred for both US and international payments.
Other methods of payment may be possible.
Shipping
Domestic Shipping.
Most orders are shipped to locations in the US at no additional cost. If not, shipping costs are set at a flat rate on an item-by-item basis.
Media mail shipping--when available and appropriate--is inexpensive but may take between two and four weeks, especially if delivery is to the west coast. If a quick delivery is important to you, please request USPS Priority Mail or some other expedited delivery service before paying.
International Shipping. International shipping is usually done through the eBay Global Shipping Program.  I know that this can be expensive, but I've switched to this method because I've had too many claims of non-receipt by international buyers.  If you contact me in advance of purchase it may be possible for me to ship directly to you.
If I ship directly, I will only ship overseas using a trackable method; this can be expensive, and it is non-negotiable.  Also, I will only enter true information on customs forms; if you  have a problem paying your nation's customs fees, that is beteen you and your government, I have nothing to do with it.
If you pay by PayPal, I will only ship to the shipping address specified by PayPal.
All shipments are covered by my business insurance at my expense, however if you would like to purchase additional USPS insurance at your expense, let me know, and I'll adjust your invoice accordingly.
