Hi Steve,
I picked up the cutout of Walter Johnson pictured below from a dealer at a card show roughly 15-20 years ago. I have long-assumed that it was cut from a Cracker Jack advertising poster and is authentic, but I really don't know. FYI, I don't collect the Cracker Jack sets - rather, I bought it for my WaJo card collection. The size of this cutout is approx. 1.875" x 2.50", and the paper stock is roughly the thickness a typical baseball card, but is much more rigid. Hope this is helpful to you. If you or anyone else can shed more light on this piece, I'll be most appreciative.
Val
