| | | | 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.
