| The picture shows a view of the (12) Old Boxed Nut Shells With Novelty Lead Toy Prizes in this lot. These are not dated but they are from the 1910s or 1920s. We have seen them advertised in old novelty catalogs such as the Johnson & Smith Company catalog. First there is the box. It pictures a Japanese boy and girl on the cover. The box lid is missing most of the side panels. The box bottom had split corners as pictured. Inside there are (12) paper walnut shells. These are halves that were attached at one time but they have separated. They can easily be glued back together if desired. In each of the nut shells were one of the lead toy prizes or favors pictured. The lead prizes were made by the Tootsietoy Company of Chicago, Illinois and are the same exact prizes that were also used in Cracker Jack boxes in the late 1910s and early 1920s. Included are the following (12) prizes: Liberty Bell Charm
Young Girl or Doll Stud Lapel Button
Owl Stud Lapel Button
Ice Skate Charm
Mason Trowel Tool Charm
Miniature Toy Doll
Miniature Toy Military Airplane
Miniature Smoking Pipe With Horse
Miniature Toy Revolver Gun
Lion Animal Charm
Maple Leaf Charm
Flower Stud Lapel Button The box is marked ''MADE IN JAPAN'' and some of the nut shells are marked ''JAPAN''. To judge the sizes the box measures 3-1/4'' x 3-7/8'' x 1''. The box is in poor condition as stated above. The paper nut shells are excellent and all the toy prizes are in mint condition as pictured. |
