Looking For Special Jar

Tripps Mom · Aug 3, 2014

I am looking for Benn-Hubb peanut butter jars. My great-grandfather was the "Hubb" part of the Bennett-Hubbard Candy Company that sold out to Topps Candy Company in 1943. It was a candy company based in Chattanooga, TN. They also made maple syrup and peppermint candy. I have one of the peppermint candy tins but would love to add anything I can find to my collection.

Hi Tripps Mom, I'm sharing a couple of photos of the Benn-Hubb Peanut Butters in my collection. I'm sorry, but neither one of them is for sale at this moment. In fact, I'd sure like to put a couple of original lids on them. The embossing is slightly different on each jar - the quart has "Finest Quality", and the pint says "Made with Peanuts and Salt" and "Union Made". I really like jars with a lot of embossing on them, and these fill the bill. Here's hoping someone spots a couple in an antique mall for a buck apiece and helps you out. Good luck with your quest! -Tammy

Thanks Tammy for sharing!I have an old peppermint tin that says Bennett-Hubbard Candies, Chattanooga USA on it. Doesn't say what kind of candy nor is their a date but it is a red tin painted with holly around it. I also have several of their old ledgers that showed what supplies they purchased and how much they cost. I love my jars though. I have 5 different styles and sizes.

I'm sure the group, as well as myself, would love to see some photos of your collection, please feel free to post a few. I'd be interested in seeing your other variations on the jars as well. Any extra lids???

Tripps Mom · Aug 5, 2014

No lids, unfortunately. I will take some pics and do my best to put them on here. I am new to the board and learning how to use it! Lol...I'll figure it out though.

I have a peanut jar from the bennett-hubbard candy company in the store. We are in Gatlinburg tn. Look us up on Facebook.

I have just seen your post and not sure if I am connecting in this forum or not! My great uncle was the Bennett in Bennett-Hubbard. He died when I was young, so only vague memories. I live in Chattanooga and occasionally run across the jars at estate sales. I only have a couple. A few have the tops. I have never seen other memorabilia. The ledges sound wonderful. I would love to see a few pages if you can scan them. The building that was the factory has been many things and now is a restaurant and office complex. In the right light, on very wet day, you can still see a bit of the painted sign on the brick exterior near the roof. Do you have any photos? Thanks....Gail Rich

Gail, if you have or find any marked lids that fit regular size mason jars, I'll make you a good offer! jarsnstuff (at) yahoo (dot) com -Tammy

Here is an example of a very rare color and unlisted, light apple green, Benn-Hubs Quart Jar.

bottleboy311 have you found any info on your green Benn-Hubb jar or info regarding value by chance? I have recently discovered a green bottle as well that was among 6 additional clear versions at my great aunts barn. Thank you!
