A classic old JUMBO PEANUT BUTTER jar, but in a not-so-common oval shape.  Though there are 100's of the one pound Jumbo P-nut butter jars out there, cylinder jars with different slogans on the base of them, this is not of that type.  I am not sure why the difference, but
this one is a distinctively oval shape.
Maybe it was the predecessor or successor to the round one pound jars, I don't know, but I do know that the oval jars are not commonly found, a HARD - TO - FIND jar.  This is a nice example, with
a strong impression of JUMBO the ELEPHANT embossed
on it.
Note that the jar's LID is an antique Mason Fruit Jar zinc lid.
The pictures show a somewhat yellow tint to the jar, mostly on account of the setting sun in the background but there is also a little age discoloration to it, maybe a haze or stain.  Especially nice since it was put out by the Frank Tea and Spice Co. of Cincinnati, which a lot of people collect items from,
check it out!
