Jubmo ? - 6/16/2008 4:37:40 PM    Jim1870 Posts: 245 Joined: 7/7/2007 Status: offline At a flea market type outdoor antique market in KY this past Sunday I noticed a "rare" misspelled Jumbo peanut butter jar.  On the bottom of the jar was spelled "Jubmo".  The dealer had around $90 on the thing (but would have taken less) and I wondered if it was worth it.  Any idea?  She is likely to be back next month and, if its worth a couple of grand I'll go back for it.  - Jim Post #: 1

As for value it would take a hard core collector to pay hundreds for it I would think . Then to on second thought, I have a few bottles I got kind of stupid as to what I paid to get them myself !!

I have not heard of that misspeel. But they do things every day to try to take us collecters. A while back I bought the Jumbo fish bowl to find out they had repo'ed it also. I should have check before. But now I know.Check the books _____________________________ Glenn YOU DIG IT ! http://www.geocities.com/gac3336/bottledigger.html (in reply to L C) Post #: 3

They also reproduce the lids too. Its all up for grabs today , being our legislators sit on their arses and do nothing to prevent it. (in reply to GACDIG) Post #: 4

Watch ScrewBay and you can get one for 20. There is also one that says Jubmo on the front. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to L C) Post #: 5

RE: Jubmo ? - 6/21/2008 8:40:29 AM    Jim1870 Posts: 245 Joined: 7/7/2007 Status: offline Thanks all, The monthly Burlington Ky show used to be a great one, a lot of primitives.  Then, a few years ago the KY Dept of Revenue cracked down on the collection of sales tax and the # of booths shrunk considerably.  Years later there are a few good dealers but a lot more empty spaces and garage sale types than ever before, so I did not expect to find a real steal on a rare bottle. As always, great info. (in reply to karis66) Post #: 7

RE: Jubmo ? - 6/21/2008 10:00:22 AM    L C   Posts: 1510 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: online I used to do that show every month. I did not quit because of the tax , it was the arrogant way they came in there and made such a big speel about telling me I would pay it. I told them they could have it and pulled out around nine that morning. Never have went back. I do the Springfield Extravaganza as well , may quit it after seeing the type of buying crowd that was there the last show. People seem to be very conservative over all,  right now.  It is no longer all antiques there anymore either. They even let people in there now selling crafts and flowers. There were sure a lot of empty spaces there the last show as well, not much of an extravaganza. I have a feeling that will not change any in the future months . < Message edited by L C -- 6/21/2008 10:06:30 AM > (in reply to Jim1870) Post #: 8

Chasing people for piddly tax money at antique shows , scaring people off and killing some shows. Meanwhile there are big corporate loopholes that let millions of tax dollars slip by. _____________________________ Bram Get busy diggin, or get busy dyin' http://www.GreatBayCatering.com cool YouTube song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd34vJohGXc (in reply to L C) Post #: 9
