| | | The picture below shows a larger front and back view of this ©1946 Cracker Jack Pop Corn Confection Kricket Chirper Lithographed Tin Clicker Novelty Toy Prize. This tin prize was created and produced by Artist & Designer C. Carey Cloud and his Cloudcrest Studios. One unique thing about this prize and others in the set is that it was created as WorldWar II was ending and there were great metal shortages. Carey Cloud managed to acquire many punched out metal disks from Ball canning jar lids. With them the prizes were stamped, formed and imprinted. The bottom side is blank. The top side is imprinted in green and black. It pictures a grass hopper and reads as follows: KRICKET CHIRPER PRESS CENTER TO MAKE NOISE. COPYRIGHT 1946 CLOUDCREST, CHICAGO, ILL. The round tin clicker toy prize measures 2'' wide. It appears to be in excellent condition as pictured. |
