1. The Cracker Jack box is as true to the original box on the poster - my guess it was hand drawn by the printer or artist. If someone will send me a cutout Baker or Collins card, super high resolution - I might be able to improve the box even more. Maranville and Speaker cards with the box printing included would also be great. I just need high resolution. Scanned preferably.

2. I found the printers mark and duplicated it. Only thing I'm not 100% on is the ampersand.

3. Some of the cards pictured are not square or sized exactly like the actual cards, I really focused on these details. The Wagner card is cut up abruptly into the Jackson card - if true to the squared card it should have extended further.

4. The back pattern was not as easy as I thought, but the details are really close for sure, thanks to pictures of the back of some cutout cards I found here on net54.
