I've got several like this I've dug with Two different style Elephant faces on em. Two are round and the other has an oval base with a round opening. Always wondered if they were worth a dime?

4 oz round tapered without the lid in the book is $30-40. $75-90 with lid.

Mike, your 4 oz jumbo is listed at $30-40 in the redbook (no lid) My wife and I have found several of these smaller sizes at tique shows for around ten bucks... We buy the small sizes as they never show up in our central NY digs... We have however, dug quite a few of the 1-2lb jars (large farm families I reckon) The lids on the small jars are tough to find! Lex, the oval jars are usually pretty good, sizes include (4 1/2oz-5 1/2oz- 9 1/2oz, 14oz and 1lb) The 9 1/2 oz is the toughest oval and always sells well on ebay, even though these jars were produced in great numbers, they can still be a challenge to collect with the many different sizes,faces and base mottos(pints), another nice find Mike!!

No, not much info on the Frank Tea co. other than it was started in the late 1890's, I'm not much of a computer whiz(research), I learn a TON right on these ABN pages !! You are correct on the high Jumbo prices... We just walk on, if a price is too high and I REFUSE to get inna bidding war on ebay...sooner or later we always find one for OUR price.. Still missing a few though !! John

Franks apparently made a lot of stuff, I've seen apple butter jars and hot sauce jars as well. They made these jars in a bunch of sizes. I always wondered about the smaller ones, wouldn't have been much peanut butter in there. Seems like anything smaller than the 10 oz. is tougher to find. The 1lb is definitely the most common. Don't know a whole lot else about them, other than they were in Cincy. I've been putting a collection together for my dad over the past couple years. Original lids are the hardest things to find.

This is a 3 1/2 oz and stands 3 inches tall.
This is a 7 oz and stands 4 inches tall. The smaller one will fit INSIDE of this one!
This is a 4 1/2 oz and stands 4 inches tall. The base is Oval and the opening is Round. Says Frank Tea and Spice Co on the front and something about Peanuts on the back. Also has a different Elephant face on it.
I use these to keep marbles in... like Most of the jars I have! LOL
