I’ve posted this before in another thread and it may not exactly fit the intention of this thread, but what the hell. Here it is again.
It’s what’s left of 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. I put it in a frame for display purposes. |

Really happy to have these. I’d say this is a fairly tough grouping.

An absolutely amazing run Jon !, all five considered significant John W. Carroll rarities. A real treat to see together.
I'm going to derail the thread a bit, I ask for your forgiveness. I believe the chronological order for the LJ packs would be middle pack first, left pack second, right pack last based on several clues outside of the pack fronts. Would be greatly helped if we could find a legible tax stamp cancel on some of these packs but those have yet to be found. Believe all three designs were used for card distribution (1887-1890+), but the 1887 issues (baseball and others) were likely the earliest middle pack, possibly also the left pack. Jon, do I recall correctly that the left pack is live, was unopened, and contained an N366 card (Language of Flowers) which we know debuted in May 1888 and ran for a couple months. So, the middle pack's use certainly included mid-1888, could have first appeared earlier. I would greatly appreciate any leads on a copy of the left pack

Jon, I greatly appreciate your attempt to locate a copy we know is out there, my comment was aimed at others on Net54 who may have or know where that or another example resides.

Thanks for the kind words Joe. And yes, I actually didn’t mean to place them in order of issue (and your research which you shared with me seems spot on). You are correct that the left pack was full/unopened with a N366 (albeit with some condition deterioration over time unfortunately). Still working on it for you - my letters have gone unanswered thus far!
