I recently acquired a jar with "Eat Tom's Toasted Peanuts" printed on it. Can anyone tell me when this jar was made?
Tom, That Tom's jar was used during the 1930's
ttomtucker, thank you for the response. I was thinking the jar may have been from the 40's/early 50's so this is a pleasant surprise. Thanks again.
Our jar has a red handle on the lid, it says, Enjoy Tom's Toasted Peanuts Delicious. Does it hold any value and how old it is? I want to keep it, from our Mom's kitchen, but feel I should pay the estate a fair value.
The larger jars run about $75.00 and up and the smaller jars about $40.00. The Enjoy Tom's Toasted Peanuts was the second logo they used from the late 1940's through the 1950's.
Thanks!
We have the "Eat Tom's Toasted Peanuts 5 cents" like the one pictured. What can you tell me about it? My husband already had it when we met 40 years ago. My job was eliminated and we may be having a sale. Thank you for your thoughts.
jkpatten, "The Eat Tom's Toasted Peanuts" are the older jars. the very large jar sell for around $50.00 and smaller Jar about $25.00/35.00.
Thanks you mammi and jkpatten
I have the lid to the smaller jar you have but no jar is there any identifiable markings on bottom, I'm looking to get one but don't want to buy fake.
Sorry I am talking about the smaller eat toms toasted peanuts 5 cents small jar thank you.
I have a Tom's Jar. The one I have is a large glass jar with a metal lid. The lid is silver with a red knob on top and it says Tom's. The writing on the glass jar is in black. Have you seen any like this before?
I have 2 of the Tom's jars and love'em too! Yours are great. Mine are like you first 2, blue one and red one. NICE!
I am looking to replace a Tom's peanut jar, black writing and "Property of Tom...Columbus, Ga " on bottom. Our's was dropped and it was from my wife's father's grocery store. Need it as a surprise gift. Anybody willing to part with theirs, let me know.
Love "em !! I have a collection of these to !
I have the the red Delicious Tom's Toasted Peanuts jar but not with the right lid.. Does anyone know where I can purchase the proper lid? It looks to be exactly as the one shown Thank you
amanda, The lids come up on Ebay all the time.
Thank you youngblood
Was glad to see this info on here today, Just bought one at a sell today, I just posted mine.
We purchased a "enjoy Tom's Toasted Peanuts Delicious" jar at a thrift store. We keep cheese & cracker and peanut butter & cracker snacks in it. My three boys think its "cool". :D
My Dad sold Tom's peanuts and Chips in the early 70's in Southeast Mo.
I still have some of his Jars and a Display case... Thanks
I have one of these toms roasted peanut jars me and my brother was cleaning a house out and the lady gave it to me. she said it was in house when she got house in the 30 s. nice jar the top feels like rubber on lid.
I have a wooden toms snack case with glass front. It has theree holes in top of it,what are they for?
I have one of those cabinets and the holes are for brackets to hold the small Tom's jars in them. Will post a pic later. They are neat display pieces with the jars on top.
I just purchased a jar that has a clear lid with a red knob that says tom's. However, the bottom portion is just clear glass - shape is round. Were there original bottoms made like this, or is it not the correct one? Thanks for your help
I had my Grandmother's Eat Tom's Toasted Peanuts jar that recently was broken, any idea where I might get another one? I know it wont be my Grandmother's but I would like to replace it.
I see them offered on Ebay about once a week or so.
