I care about the story of the bottle or jars. Any help with this ugly guy?

Hi

Thanks for posting.

I think it is a peanut butter or mustard jar.

This is a Nash-Underwood mustard jar - the product was sold in this novelty container which doubled as a bank - see the lid photo below of "Jolly Joe Coin bank"

Here is an ebay auction of the same item

Jar is marked on base "Design Patent No 112688"

Attached below are PDFs of the patent, applicant Lysle Adams, December 1938.
