Well, I found this in an interesting place, but that's a story for another post. I know from looking around that this is a French's Mustard Jar, but my question is, how old is it? On the base it is embossed with "L/DESIGN PAT'D/4". Any ideas?

Had to zoom out quite a bit to get a look! [;)] Without a patent number, an exact date is not possible.. I'd put it in the 1930 -1950 range..

Do you think it would be worth going back to where I found this to look for more? The buildings in question are from 1897, and are being torn down soon. I think they should turn the complex into a museum, but NOOOO, they're making apartments instead.

I realize this is an old thread but it appeared on the first page results of a google search I did for "vintage french's mustard jar" so I wanted to include my information. . .

So I have a very similar jar to yours with raised lettering "IT'S FRENCH'S" & on the bottom " DESIGN PAT'D FEB 23-15". I assume that means 1915! I think your jar is older because mine has a "10" and yours has a "4". Also the design on mine is scalloped with rounded .•´¯`•..•´¯`•.instead of pointed ///
I'll try to post a photo.
