My 6-yr-old dug this up while we were poking around the ruins of an old foundation. It has the patent on the bottom and I was able to look it up (see attachment). Looks to be from the 1930s. Patent filed by Wilson Edwards for the Turner Glassworks in Terre Haute. Neat little jar and cool to see the patent for it.

Probably has no value but my kid thinks it's worth a fortune.

Neat little jar! The real value here is getting to do things with your kid and seeing the excitement over their discovery. That alone is worth a fortune.

There are some collectors who like the clear "Design Patent" jars, and you could probably sell it for a few bucks. However it sounds like you'll be keeping it as a memento of his first find & will bring you great memories for the years to come.
