Original 1914 1915 Cracker Jack box

[prewarsports]

I once had a cabinet photograph of a vender selling Cracker Jacks with stacks of boxes and the cards on display. I don't have the scan anymore but I posted it on the forum about 10-15 years ago when I bought it so you might be able to dig it up somewhere online.

I have a portion of an embossed side panel to a CJ shipping container. I’ve dated it to 1912-1922.

Thats the best photo Ive seen so far displaying the actual card inside and the box that it came in. Although its zoomed way in and blurry, it seems as though the boxes are extremely small compared to others I see of the same period. Were there different size boxes with different prizes other than cards during these 2 years also?

I am pretty sure it is also Wagner that is being displayed. I remember researching it quite a bit when I owned it.

I haven't been to the HOF since I was a little kid but I remember they had unopened Cracker Jack boxes when I visited and some kind of X-Ray that supposedly showed the card inside.

So, is the printing on the back of the 1914 box backwards from 1915?
