I just received my Redbook #10 on Fruit Jar listings. When I found the section on Jumbo Peanut Butter jars I priced my whole collection except one. This picture shows the 4 1/4 oz jar that is not listed in the Red Book. Does that mean it is rare???
Anyone know where I could get some lids for these jars??? Thank you for any answers. Marvin

Hello Marvin , I never had any luck finding the Jumbos shaped like the one you have pictured , all I ever found was the round ones except for the fish bowl Jumbos . As for finding lids , good luck ! They are not easy to come by , although once in a while a few will pop up on eBay . I think they have been reproduced , but myself I would not give a dime for one of them .

Mr. Fred, The elephant head is the same as my 5 1/2 oz and the bottle is tappered the same. As you can see the lines are thinner on the 5 1/2 oz one. Thank you for the information. Marvin

Thank you Fred[:)] Maybe Warren will give me some info on it? I know he has a good collection of these, including the elephant figural.
Have a great day, Marvin

Hey Marvin, Those are rare in 4 1/2oz size. The larger sizes are more common. Yours would sell for around 45 bucks if it is in very good shape. I had a full set but had to let many of them go back when I couldn't work.

Warren, I have a 4 1/2 oz and a 4 1/4 oz one. The 4 1/4 is not listed in my Redbook, so I thought it might be rare? Unfortunately the 4 1/4 has two chips in the top of the threads.[:mad:]
Thanks for the reply, Marvin
