Alright Planters Peanut people...real or repro? - 3/27/2007 7:05:11 PM    ncbred77 Posts: 199 Joined: 3/12/2007 From: Macclesfield, NC Status: offline This was a christmas gift.  I was told that the original jars never came in any color besides clear.  Just wondering if its a repro or the real deal.  I'll love it either way.

RE: Alright Planters Peanut people...real or repro? - 3/28/2007 11:03:43 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2420 Joined: 4/17/2005 Status: offline I first saw these reproes back in the late 70's. They also came in cobalt blue...and perhaps amethyst. One still surfaces from time to time in a shoppe or at the Flea...with some outrageous $$$ amount. It's attractive, well-made, and "aged" enough to have collector appeal & value and most likely will increase in value much like the repro 1858 jars from the 70s.... Whatever you do - take care of that lid. It's about half the value on older jars, and the jars are hard to sell without a lid or, with a damaged lid. (in reply to ncbred77) Post #: 9

I put a crack in mine washing it - the glass is so thin that when I reached for the faucet I bumped the cold by accident and pffffft up the side.  Man, I hate when that happens!
