Many of the early pot metal or lead prizes were manufactured by Dowst (Samuel Dowst), or the Tootsietoy Company of Chicago, Illinois, but there were many other different companies in the United States, and including ones from Japan and Germany prior to World War II as well. Some of these type prizes were made specifically for Cracker Jack, while others were made as small novelties, bought in volume, and used as prizes by The Cracker Jack Company. Pot metal or lead prizes were some of the earliest prizes that were used in Cracker Jack boxes from the 1910s to the late 1940s. Many of these type prizes or novelties were also sold from old Johnson Smith & Company catalogs as well as some other early novelty catalogs, also used in fortune telling sets, and some were also sold and used as board game parts. Many of these can be found factory painted, inked, or with no finish at all. Of the three prizes in this lot, one fox is inked in red, one inked in green, and one has no finish.

All seven of these miniature fox animal prize charms for one price! To judge the sizes, the larger pig figure in the center measures about 3/4'' x 1/2'' x 1/4''. These appear to be in excellent to mint condition, as pictured.
