Hi everyone. I don't often post much here but I thought you guys might enjoy seeing this item that I found yesterday. It’s an embossed side panel to a shipping carton used to ship Cracker Jacks. I have dated it to between 1912 and 1922 based upon the writing content, so right in the timeframe for the 1914-15 CJ issues. The piece measures about 16x20.
The person I got it from said that it was at the bottom of an old box so my guess is that someone 100 years ago tore the panel off to use it as packing material. I cannot imagine that many 100 year old shipping cartons of Cracker Jack still exist. I put it in a frame to see how it displays, and thought you guys that collect Cracker Jack cards might enjoy seeing it.
