Large Glass Advertising Counter Jar Deep South

COUNTER JAR, that is a replica of a Black Americana advertising piece. The jar is a large heavy clear glass counter jar with glass lid & plastic seal. The front has "Deep South Nut & Candy Co." with a Black Man playing a banjo and "Deep In The Heart of Dixie" and "All Deliciousl" as well as, "Roasted Peanuts, Dried Fruits, Penny Candy, Chocolates, Chewing Gum".  The counter jar measures 9 1/2 inches tall and 6 1/2 inches wide. At least three major theories exist as to how the South became known as Dixie, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. A few facts concerning Dixie are not in dispute, including the use of the minstrel song Dixie as the informal anthem of the Confederacy during the Civil War. The song was indeed performed at the inauguration of Jefferson Davis, the Confederacy's first and only president. Few (if any) references to Dixie as a region have been dated before 1860.
