| The picture below shows a larger view of this Rare 1959 Cracker Jack Mail Away Premium Offer Prize Wrapper With Rocket Ship Whistle Prize. This wrapper or envelope was unopened, but through time, the glue dried and the front and back cleanly separated. The prize whistle with it was once inside. There is a slight indent in the paper from the whistle. The red hard plastic reed whistle is of a space or rocket ship, that you would blow through. It is marked “BLOW” and “C.J. CO.”. The Cracker Jack Company number for this prize is Z-1229, and it was made in 1959 by the Lind Plastic Company of Lincolnwood, Illinois. There are two mail away premium offers that are pictured and described on the wrapper. One is for a “WOODEN BIRD FEEDER KIT” for only 50 cents postpaid. You would send fifty cents and two of these wrappers, for each Bird Feeder Kit. The other offer is for an “EXPANSION I-D BRACELET”. The stainless steel expansion bracelet came with your full name engraved for only 25 cents and two of these wrappers. I am selling off my large, lifetime Cracker Jack collection. This is a great opportunity, or chance for you to be the proud owner of some nice old Cracker Jack items, including many Rare, one of a kind, Art pieces from Cracker Jack, or their toy prize History, plus the included prizes here. To judge the sizes the wrapper or envelope measures about 3-3/4'' x 2-5/8''. The whistle appears to be in mint unused condition, and the rare wrapper is in excellent condition with wrinkling as made, as pictured. |
