There's one at an antique shop near me. It has a hole and crack on the front, but does have its original lid. I don't know what they want for it.

If its rather cheep I would get it just for the lid it would bring up the value quite a bit on that one tony has

This is a pretty interesting thread. Great looking jar too. Anyone know the history of it? How 'bout the age? I'm guessing early 1900's. Makes me want to go out and dig some TOC dumps.

That's why digging a 1920's or newer dump is a good idea. This is the kind of find you're looking for! Great find, I had no idea they were worth that much. I've never seen one before. Where were they made and for how long I wonder?

The Red Book Of Fruit Jars has these listed.RB#10 says 1000 and up with the lid.Like capsoda said i have seen these sell for more than that and also less than that amount.Great Find!

Because of the shape I'm betting a lot of these got broken, I can imagine trying to get peanut butter out of there and trying to hold onto it with the other hand, it was probably a cumbersome task. Or were these made strictly as promotional items without the pb inside?
