This item is a Frank's Jumbo Peanut Butter glass jar. In 1896, Jacob Frank ended his career as a traveling salesman and founded the Frank Tea and Spice Co. along with his brothers Emil and Charles. Located on East Second Street in Cincinnati, Ohio, the company introduced small, shelf-size, packages of whole and ground spices for customers, replacing bulk merchandise. As their market expanded, so too did their offerings; ranging from teas and spices to peanut butter and olives. One of their most famous inventions was Frank's® RedHot®, a cayenne pepper sauce that was the secret ingredient for the first ever Buffalo Wings. The front of jar shows an elephant head graphic flanked by text reading "Jumbo Brand Peanut Butter, 2 Lbs., Cincinnati, Ohio". It has the original red-and-cream lid labeled "Franks Jumbo Brand Peanut Butter". The edges of the lid read The Frank Tea & Spice Co., Cincinnati, Ohio". The sides of the jar are rounded with a ladder pattern on the upper half and a scalloped lower half. It measures 6" x 3.5" x 6"H. This is a great piece of Americana that would be an excellent addition to your home.
