| | | The picture shows both sides of this RARE 1890's Cracker Jack Penny Candy Prize / Premium Camera Box. I'm not sure exactly what the candy was that was in here, they had made many types back then. The box advertises Cracker Jack and by the maker name it places this box around 1896 to 1901 before Henry Eckstein joined the company. This box is printed and in the form of an old camera. The tabs were to be torn off to pretend you had taken photographs. All four tabs are intact! They picture two dogs a pig, and a monkey. It is marked on the different panels as follows: MADE BY F.W. RUECKHEIM & BRO., CHICAGO. MANUFACTURERS OF THE FAMOUS CRACKER JACK LOTS OF FUN FOR ONE CENT FOUR PHOTOS FOR ONE CENT OPEN HERE OTHER PICTURES IN OTHER CAMERAS PRESS THE BUTTON J.W. SEFTON MFG. CO CHICAGO The tiny box as pictured flat below measures 4-3/8" x 2-1/8". It is in very good condition with the wear as can be pictured. This box is rare in ANY condition! |
