    Description

    This is a wonderful piece of Americana that could be found in general stores at the turn of the century. This crock is a very large and heavy piece that has a diameter of about 13 inches and stands almost 11 inches tall and weighs about 20 lbs. It still has its original lid. There are a few small chips, here and there, (see photos) and a crack on one side. The graphics are good and can still be read, just some fading. There is some residue on the inside. I did not try to clean. The lid is a little more creamy in color than the bottom, as they all are. Mentioned only for complete accuracy. Overall this crock is in good condition. The first photo is of one side and the second photo is of the other side. It states: BISHOP'S PEANUT BUTTER (and under that) 32 Pounds Net Weight.
    I have checked these on Worthpoint and they generally sell for between 0 and 0, but have been sold at auction houses, not eBay. They have been in pretty bad shape and many without lids. I believe they are hard to sell on eBay because the piece is so large and heavy; the shipping price is shocking.
    Local pick up only. Just too heavy to mail.
    International bidders: I only use eBay's global shipping program.  Please check the price before bidding.
