Had to find that photo Rhys.

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?

Happy to see this thread I've been wondering about the year of mine for a while. Cool that the main panel is the same as the baseball period boxes from the newspapers. A collector friend told me a while ago he thought it was from about 1917-18 and I finally did some research and found that the first use of the line supporting their marshmallow product, "One taste invites another" was from 1916. Pretty close. (sorry for ginormous pics).
