| The picture below shows larger front and back views of all (3) Matching Old Cracker Jack Pop Corn Confection Pot Metal or Lead Toy Prize Kitchen Table Chairs in this lot. These miniature chairs are not dated but they are old. We do not have a Cracker Jack ID number for these prizes. The earliest prizes do not have one. One is blue, one is silver, and the third is darker has no finish. They are not marked, and the maker is unknown. Many of the pot metal or lead prizes were manufactured by the Tootsietoy Company of Chicago, Illinois. There were other companies, including from Japan prior to World War II. Some of these type prizes were made specifically for Cracker Jack, while others were made as 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 1940s. Many of these type prizes or novelties were also sold out of old Johnson Smith & Company catalog 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. All three of these miniature chairs for one price! They each measure about 15/16'' x 1/2'' x 3/8''. They appear to be in mint condition as pictured. |
