Default Cracker Jacks

Posted By: The Other One

This is a 1915 Cracker Jack I bought for too much, and the stain on the top was so bad, you could hardly read the "Cracker Jack" (sorry, I don't have "before and after" pictures). After two years of being stored in Mylar, it's still stained, but only mildly (the back escaped, for some reason).



(I was once looking through my mother's rock collection with her, and picked up a really beautiful one, with a crack in it. I said "Too bad this one is cracked," and she said "Yes, but it's healing." She was serious! Some cracks in rocks do heal--over thousands of years!)
