 1915 VINTAGE FRENCH'S MUSTARD
JAR/MACE JAR
  • JAR FRONT STATES: "IT'S FRENCH'S" 
  • JAR BOTTOM STATES: "DESIGN PAT'D FEB 23 15"
  • BECAUSE OF THE RUSTING CONDITION OF LID IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ WHAT THE LID STATES, BUT THIS IS WHAT I CAN SEE: "FRENCH'S PREPARED MUSTARD" "REG. US PAT OFF". NO HOLES IN LID.
  • THE LABEL SHOWS "STRICTLY PURE GROUND MACE" AND I AM TO ASSUME THAT MACE IS WHAT IS IN THE JAR.
  • NOTE:The jar is apprx. 4 1/4" high. The base is apprx. 2 5/8" x 2 3/4" (actually between these two measures). The fattest part of the jar is about 3". The lid came off easily. The cardboard insert in the lid is stuck to the jar and is too fragile to remove in one piece, so I don't want to touch it. There are no chips on the top rim to be seen with the magnifying glass.The inside of the lid itself has aging like the top of the lid, but mostly only around the screw-on grooves of the lid. The center of the lid is still gold for the most part.
  • Basically, I knew the person who had this jar for many years. He just used it for decor and never opened it. He passed at the age of 85 in 2005. As you can see, the Mace is still in there, sealed like a tomb by the cardboard lid insert.
  • This item is over 1 lb. when calculating the shipping.

TERMS OF SALE

BIDDING:

PLEASE NOTE BEFORE YOU PLACE A BID: I am an honest, reputable seller. Most of my items listed are VINTAGE and are from my parent’s private collection. The vintage items come to you in "as found" and "as is" condition, and I try to describe items as accurately as possible. I do not make the “NEW” industry manufactured items I sell therefore I do not guarantee the item (s) from falling apart either by a defect or wearing it. The items are coming to you from A SMOKE FREE AND PET FREE ENVIRONMENT. I DO NOT SELL TO ANYONE WITH LESS THAN A 10 FEEDBACK SCORE. SORRY, I ONLY TAKE BIDS FROM THE CONTINENTAL USA. When you place your bid you are agreeing to all of the “TERMS OF SALE” listed on this page.

 

Please CONTACT me through E-bay BEFORE bidding if you have any questions. Note: I am not a full time eBay seller so please bear with me on my auctions. I may take anywhere from 1 hour to 72 hours for a response. You will not get instant replies or deliveries from me. Also, I am trying to get the hang of the shipping fees per package. Thus bear with me.  I will refund the difference in ship price if I find a less expensive way to ship than what I have posted above.

 

BID WITH CONFIDENCE!

 

My feedback will be left for you once the transaction is fully complete.

 

PAYMENT:

I ONLY ACCEPT PAYPAL PAYMENTS AND WILL ONLY SHIP TO PAY PAL'S CONFIRMED ADDRESS YOU USE! Please be sure to confirm your shipping address with PAYPAL ans me before sending payment. The winning bidder is responsible to deliver payment to me within 4 days of the closing date of the auction or forfeit the item(s). After 4 days the item (s) will be re-listed.

I am happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases. Combined shipping applies to items purchased within 5 days of each other. If you are planning to purchase more than one item to receive a shipping discount please inform me of this and then wait to pay until you are finished. Afterward, send an email letting me know that you are ready to close out your invoice. A combined invoice will be sent when you are finished purchasing. Items paid separately must ship separately.

If you use the “Buy It Now” function to win item (s), payment is due within 24 hours via Pay Pal after invoicing. Auction payment is due 4 days from invoice.

PAYPAL IS THE ONLY PAYMENT METHOD I ACCEPT. I will ship within three days upon receiving the funds. (See Shipping for more info.)

INSURANCE:

Though I pack items very carefully, I still calculate an insurance fee in the shipping and handling cost of most, but not all items, to protect both of us.

 

SHIPPING:

All buyers must contact me within 3 days of purchasing item (s).  Please notify me of your correct shipping address. I CANNOT SHIP TO ANY OTHER ADDRESS THAN THE ONE LISTED WITH PAYPAL! SORRY, NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING/BIDDERS. I ONLY SHIP TO CONFIRMED E-BAY ADDRESSES. NO LOCAL PICK-UPS. I will notify you by email when I ship your item (s).

 

SHIPPING DESCRIPTION:

Shipment of item (s) is by US Postal Service, UPS or Fed-Ex. I try to use the least expensive way. I charge only actual shipping costs (and insurance on most items). The insurance coverage is the only handling fee. I will refund the difference in ship price if I find a less expensive way to ship. Item (s) will be shipped within three business days upon completion of your cleared payment. BUSINESS DAYS means Monday thru Friday, NOT including Holidays or Weekends! However, sometimes I can't get to the post office and will let you know if there will be a delay in shipping your purchase. Note that shipping time may vary with package origin and destination. I ship most of the packages with a “Delivery Confirmation” of which I pay the cost. Please email for shipping quote.

 

I am very happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases. Combined shipping applies to items purchased within 5 days of each other. To make sure you receive the correct shipping discount when purchasing multiple items, it is best to request a combined invoice before you pay and wait for the combined invoice. Items paid for separately through Pay Pal must be shipped separately.

 

RETURN POLICY:

ALL SALES ARE FINAL!

ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD IN “AS IS” AND "AS FOUND"CONDITION so please ask me any questions you may have prior to purchasing or placing your bid.

 

I want you to be pleased with your purchase.  If you have a problem or concern, please email me and give me a chance to work it out.  Please contact me BEFORE you leave feedback. I am ethical, fair and professional and will do my best to resolve any issue. I would like to have the opportunity to make you happy. Your complete satisfaction is very important to me.

 

Vintage items are old and used......not mint! They are sold as “AS IS” and "AS FOUND". I check my items carefully, but on occasion I miss something tiny, however, it is never a big flaw or stains. Some items may have natural fabric or dye flaws. Some vintage items are fragile and may be damaged by unsuitable cleaning processes. And some vintage items may have a “vintage” odor to them. I do not make the “NEW” industry manufactured items I sell therefore I do not guarantee the item (s) from falling apart either by a defect or wearing it. I will not take returns, unless an item has been grossly misrepresented.

 

Refunds are given only on items that may have been mistakenly misrepresented. Description and images are presented to the best of my ability and returns accepted only if item is misrepresented. Images are part of the description, so view them carefully. If you feel that the item you receive is not as listed please email within 48 hours of receipt of the item. All items must be returned in the exact condition as they were in when I mailed them and must be received within 7 days of receiving approval to return the item.
