Step back in time with this authentic vintage Planters Peanuts store display jar, dating back to 1940. This iconic 'Leap Year Jar' features the beloved Mister Peanut character prominently on its original yellow and black striped tin lid, along with instructions to 'PLEASE KEEP JAR ALWAYS COVERED' and 'HELP TO KEEP PEANUTS FRESH' and 'KEEP JAR ALWAYS WELL FILLED'. The heavy glass jar is embossed with 'PLANTERS' on one side and 'MADE IN U.S.A.' and '1940 LEAP YEAR JAR' on the bottom, confirming its age and origin. This piece is a must-have for any collector of advertising memorabilia, Planters Peanuts items, or vintage food and beverage collectibles. It makes a charming decorative piece for a kitchen, general store display, or collector's shelf. The jar and lid show signs of age consistent with a nearly 85-year-old item, including minor wear, scratches, and some oxidation on the lid, all contributing to its authentic vintage character. Please refer to the images for a detailed view of its condition.
