Title: Fannabelle Nickel
Post by: rubedugans on December 09, 2008, 05:03:58 PM
Does anyone know of any other information regarding this jar I recently purchased for $5 ???
I found the following:
This is a old Jams & Jellies Pottery Jar. Jar measures 3" tall. Bottom of jar is marked "An Ozark Original by Fannabelle, Marvel Cave".
Fannabelle Nickel was one of the original cave guides in the renamed Marvel Caves.  Her career started in 1918 until she retired sometime in the 1960s.  Her daughter, Sherrie, became Mrs. Jack Herschend in a ceremony inside Marvel Cave.

I took some pics of the pics on the wall in the waiting area to M.C.  I think you may find your jar in some of them.  There are at this thread:
