Advertising Cookie Jars from Keebler

By Barbara Crews, About.com Guide

When the Keebler Millennium Tree debuted it caught collectors by surprise. Collectors knew a Keebler Tree cookie jar was coming out, but we already had several other Keebler trees -- how special could one more be? We all found out as soon as the Millennium Tree showed up -- it was completely different than any other Keebler jar. This especially showed on the cookie jar poll for this jar, as it got many more votes than any other jar in the Rate This Jar series.

The issue price was $39.95.

There were four jars scheduled in the series. The Millennium Tree (Tree of Pride), the Cracker Barrel, the Magic Oven and Ernie in the Chair. Although the last two jars were designed, they were never produced.
