I am a direct descendant of the Robinson Peanut folks. My mother's father passed away in 1932, but he still had brothers left that owned the company. My great uncle (Joseph Robinson) and the rest of the heirs sold the company to a firm in South Carolina in the early part of 1970s, I think I remember that correctly. None of my mother's generation is alive today. My mother's father also owned a candy company in Lynchburg, called Goober Puffs. One of my mother's brothers was named after one of the original owners of the company (an uncle I believe) the H. A. stands for Howell Allison and then Robinson of course. I am working on our family history, therefore it is fascinating to find info about my family. I have one of the glass Goober Puffs jars, mine has a tin lid. We used to have a large tin that peanuts came in, but someone in the family has it and I have not seen it in a while. I am inclined to believe that the cards you guys have should be real.<br />Anyway, thanks for sharing,<br />CeliaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783200286775950069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4193444339911574734.post-73341116327434447492015-11-29T08:42:37.685-06:002015-11-29T08:42:37.685-06:00I haven't determined whether or not this is ar...I haven't determined whether or not this is archival tape.
