Jumbo Peanut Butter was a product of our own Frank Tea and Spice Company, founded in 1896 by immigrant brothers Jacob, Emil, and Charles...

Frank Tea and Spice was sold to a national company in 1969. According to John Frank, the grandson of the founder and last owner of the company, Skippy approached them to toll manufacture their homogenized spreadable peanut butter. But Frank Tea and Spice refused because they didn’t have the money to invest in homogenization equipment. Skippy found another manufacturer and they and other brands like Peter Pan took over they market with their homogenized spreadable peanut butters. And, Jumbo Peanut Butter became a beloved brand of the past, whose jars are now widely collected.

Here is a link for more about that.

I don't think this jar ever had a paper label, unlike others I've seen. The jar is textured with wavy lines all around.
