Jumbo pb question

[Xcalibur]

I have found many 1lb size jars and several 5 oz. size. I notticed on ebay some1 had a 4.5 oz jumbo, looks like my 5 oz. Is it really a 4.5 oz? As i have never seen 1. Allso, i was wondering, how many different sayings are on the bottom of the 1lb jars? thanx.
Xcal.

X...there is indeed a 4 and 1/4 ounce Jumbo jar...it is the tapered style with large ribs....whereas the 5 and 1/2 ounce jar has thin ribs.
I sold 2 on Ebay last month...1st ones I'd ever had/seen.

I have no idea how many different sayings there are, do know there is a "error" jar where a word is mis-spelled.

I dug a 7 ounce Jumbo today and darned if it doesn't seem smaller than the 4 1/4 oz. variety...says 7 oz though...[&:]

Thanx whiskey. I was wondering about your reply. you used the terms, 5 1/2 oz and
4 1/4 oz. On my small jumbos, they have 5 oz, not 5 1/2...?? Is the 1/2 and 1/4 embossed on the jars? Im very curious as to why they would design such small amount differences between all the PBs..?? I dont know of any other products that have such small variances in size. I have heard that Jumbo makes many different jars for products other than PB. I would really like to find some more info on all the products jumbo bottled. any more info would help.. thanx
P.S. AS a ending note: I would like to say that this site is the best ive seen. not only in knowledge, but integrity as well. I have been on other sites that provide good knowledge, but the ppl are what i call ( garage diggers), only after the buck! Im proud to say that i found a site where $$$$ is not the main issue.. keep diggin guys, cause i will! [] LEE.
