Misc Stuff & CRACKER JACK TOY!!

[cambria09]

Hello All. Hunted a c.1920's homes site today, all long gone now. I've dug this site many times...concentrated low and slow mostly in a previously productive area.

Managed some misc hardware, a play coin, 2 Wheaties, a Chevy hub cap, and a great Cracker Jack toy...my first.

Found the CJ toy on the internet, it's a Tootsie and dates from 1940...there was an engine and a caboose also available as box prizes. They made stuff good back then, my find is 65-YRs old...I doubt a happy meal toy could last that long in the elements.

Thanks for the view, good luck, and have good T-Bird day. C9

I have found maybe a half dozen Cracker Jack prizes, but the one you found is at the top of the list. Congrats on a great score.

What great finds, Congrats!

Congrats on a great hunt.
That Cracker Jack toy is awesome.

The ones they make today are complete junk like stickers and other paper products that wouldn't last 5 minutes underground. Probably come from China.

The train car actually is not a Cracker Jack prize but part of a pre-war train set made by Tootsietoy. It's one of the harder to find cars as not many were made.

That CJ toy is killer... and a Tootsie at that. I have never seen one of those. Nice find, congrats!

Hello wpsgta1000. Thanks for the reply...I dug deeper and you are correct. I assumed you had to get each car in a box but this toy was a cooperative effort between Tootsie Toy and Cracker Jacks... HH C9
