Welcome to the forum! Nice job on your photography - I still have a hard time getting good photos of embossing on clear/aqua bottles.

Your bottle looks to be in great condition - sorry I don't have any info. on the jumbos, but I'm sure someone else will help you out!

Hey Shag, I dug the same little jar in the 2.5 oz. version. I'm pretty sure the one I dug was around 1920's or so because of the other bottles that were in there with it. Another local digger told me that the one I dug was worth around 25-30 bucks because it is a free sample size that is fairly hard to come by. I usually try to collect older glass but I kept it because I thought it was a neat little jar. Welcome to the forum! Chris Capley

Hey Shag, Thats a nice clean Jumbo. The 5oz spiral is worth $35 to $45 and is the hardest of the spiral jars to find. Value almost doubles with a lid.

Nice find and Welcome To The Forum.

"lex i thought this jumbo was small yours would'nt hold enough for a sandwitch!"

LOL. Yeah, that's exactly what I said when I dug it. Mine is exactly like yours except the embossing is divided in half. The top half of yours down to the word Penut Butter is on the front of mine and the bottom half of the embossing on yours is on the back of mine. I'm in the process of unpacking a bunch of bottles right now and will post a pic of it when I come across it. Chris Capley
